Beschreibungen
Stage Directions covers half a lifetime and the whole range of Frayn's theatrical writing, right up to a new piece about his latest play, Afterlife. It is also a reflection on his path into theatre: the 'doubtful beginnings' of his childhood, his subsequent scorn as a young man and, surprisingly late in life, his reluctant conversion. Whatever subjects he tackles, from the exploration of the atomic nucleus to the mechanics of farce, Michael Frayn is never less than fascinating, delightfully funny and charming. This book encapsulates a lifetime's work and is guaranteed to be a firm favourite with his legions of fans around the world.
Michael Frayn was born in London in 1933 and began his career as a journalist on the
Guardian and the
Observer. His novels include
Towards the End of the Morning,
The Trick of It and
Landing on the Sun.
Headlong (1999) was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, while his most recent novel,
Spies (2002), won the Whitbread Novel Award. His fifteen plays range from
Noises Off to
Copenhagen and most recently
Afterlife.
