Born in London, England, he was educated at Dulwich College, London, Queens' College, Cambridge, and later the University of York. Some of Swift's books have been filmed, including "Waterland" (1992), "Shuttlecock" (1993), "Last Orders" (1996) and "Mothering Sunday" (2021). His novel "Last Orders" was joint-winner of the 1996 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction and a controversial winner of the 1996 Booker Prize, owing to the many similarities in plot and structure to William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying". ***'"Waterland" is a 1983 novel by Graham Swift, set in the Fenland of eastern England. It won the Guardian Fiction Prize, and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 1992, it was adapted into a film, starring Jeremy Irons. "Waterland" is concerned with the nature and importance of history as the primary source of meaning in a narrative. For this reason, it is associated with new historicism. "Waterland" can also be said to fall under the category of postmodern literature. It has characteristics associated with postmodern literature, such as a fragmented narrative style, where events are not told in chronological order. An unreliable narrator is also present. Major themes in the novel include storytelling and history, exploring how the past leads to future consequences.' (Wiki) ***'Here at last is a great modern English novel with both a haunting sense of locality and a universal dimension and range. The Fenland of Graham Swift's book is not just a superb evocation of place, but also a vision of England and the strange, stubborn English temperament.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper of "Waterland") ***A small collection of first impressions of three of Graham Swift's earlier works in near fine collectable condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
