Braine's first book with John Minton dustjacket. With this first novel, Braine was to become part of a group of writers who emerged during the 1950s, dubbed as 'angry young men'. His protagonist, Joe Lampton, the working-class (anti)hero epitomises the post-war anxieties, alienation and disillusionment of a young generation. The dustjacket, printed in blue, yellow and black was designed by the English painter, illustrator and stage designer John Minton.
