JEREMY BROOKS   (1926 - 1994)

Nationality:   British    Email:   n/a   Website:   n/a

Literary Agent:  n/a

Jeremy Brooks (born in Southampton in 1926, died in Gwynedd, North Wales, 1994) was a novelist, poet, and dramatist. Best known for his novels (particularly Jampot Smith, Henry's War and Smith, As Hero) and for his stage adaptations of classic works, particularly a series of Maxim Gorky plays for the Royal Shakespeare Company. His novels were praised for their lyricism and for their "Chekhovian mixture of comic concision and pathos". Anthony Burgess, in The Novel Now said Jeremy Brooks has come to considerable stature in Jampot Smith and Smith, as Hero: he has created one of the few really large picaresque characters in the post-war novel.
