Alan Sillitoe has died at 82.
Alan Sillitoe: An important British writer who is to be remembered for Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner, both of which were made into acclaimed movies. The latter movie impressed me as a kid in high school. I did read both works, though long ago. Tough and gritty.
The titles alone are terrific.
