Name
Bennett, Alan
Description
Alan Bennett's work runs the gamut from stage play to autobiography to biting parody. Bennett treats the serious -- his personal battle with cancer -- and the humorous -- a fictional portrait of Elizabeth II's reading habits -- with equal skill, producing perfectly paced works defined through a use of common language, adages, quotations, and well-known jargon. Whatever the genre, Bennett hits the mark by creatively using language, twisting clichés and using pointed dialogue and prose to comment upon life, relationships, and society. Start with: The Uncommon Reader (fiction); The Complete Talking Heads (nonfiction)
