Über den Autor
Ray Coryton Hutchinson (1907-1975) was a British novelist and short story writer. He was born in Middlesex and educated at Monkton Combe School, near Bath. He later went to study at Oriel College in Oxford; after graduating, in 1927, he joined the advertising department at Colman's in Norwich. His early novels - Though Hast a Devil, The Answering Glory, and The Unforgotten Prisoner, written and published between 1930 and 1935 - were successful and their high sales allowed Hutchinson to leave advertising and become a full-time writer. In 1940 he joined the army and travelled extensively around Europe while serving during the war. He was demobilized in October 1945 with the rank of Major.Hutchinson continued to write throughout his life and in 1962 was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. His last novel, Rising, was published in September 1975 and shortlisted for the Booker Prize in November of the same year.
