RIP Stan Barstow
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/aug/01/stan-barstow-obituary

IMHO the best and most enjoyable of the "Angry Young Men" who shook up EngLit by the scruff of the neck mid-century.

I have a special affection for "Joby" - a wonderful and funny account of a pre-WW2 childhood which my students and I thoroughly enjoyed in my school-teaching days.

Sleep well, Stan.

Very sorry to hear this. I also loved 'Joby'.
