Like a Fiery Elephant: The Story of B.S. Johnson
🏆 Winner of the 2005 Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction
In this award-winning literary biography, Jonathan Coe narrates the life of the uncompromising, erratic avant-garde author B.S. Johnson, whose experimental works included a novel-in-a-box (whose chapters could be read in any order) and a novel with holes cut through the pages. In keeping with its subject matter, Like a Fiery Elephant also takes unusual form.
