Inhaltsangabe

The twin obsessions of D.M. Thomas’s poetry and novels are love and death. This selection shows how his treatment of those themes over 30 years has flowered and grown more various, from his early erotic lyrics, through his celebrated science fiction pieces, to more recent poems about sexuality, relationships, family deaths and his search for lost Cornish roots. D.M. Thomas’s first book appeared in 1968, when his poetry was also published in the Penguin Modern Poets series. Five more collections followed, including Dreaming in Bronze (1981), winner of a Cholmondeley Award, and a Selected Poems from Secker and Penguin. This book includes work from all his previous collections and from News from the Front, his collaboration with Sylvia Kantaris, as well as many new poems. His fiction and poetry have been profoundly influenced by Russian literature, and he has published translations of Akhmatova and Pushkin. While his poetry has been widely acclaimed, he has become better known for his controversial novels, especially for The White Hotel (1981), an international bestseller, and for his quintet of novels, Russian Nights. His most recent novel is Flying in to Love (Bloomsbury), an exploration of John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
