Tony Rossiter profiles the self-styled writer who set up his own publishing company for his idiosyncratic books
The style and technique of JL CARR
A local theatre company’s adaptation of A Month in the Country was my first exposure to the writing of JL (Jim) Carr. Over a period of thirty years he produced eight novels, two of them shortlisted for the Booker prize. He was in his fifties when he began writing – a role model for those of us who are not in the first flush of youth.
