His studies at Oxford were interrupted by WWII, but as a conscientious objector he worked on a smallholding for the duration of the conflict, while also completing his first novel, The Dark Tower, which was published in 1946, while he was still an undergraduate. He worked for the British Council for 15 years—in Italy, Greece, Finland, and Japan successively—while also regularly publishing novels, poems and short stories. In 1966, he returned to England and became a full-time writer and critic. He published more than 50 books over his lifetime, the accolades for which include the Somerset Maugham Award, the Katherine Mansfield Short Story Prize, and the Golden PEN Award for a Lifetime’s Distinguished Service to Literature. Twice nominated for the Booker Prize, he was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and President of PEN International.ver menos
