A biography of the non-fiction and travel writer Norman Lewis, published to mark his centenary. From the 1950s to the 1990s, Lewis wrote a number of brilliant books including "A Dragon Apparent", about South Asia before the Vietnam War, and "Naples 44".

Publisher's description:

Norman Lewis was the best not-famous writer of his generation. A pharmacist's son from Enfield, Lewis became unmatched as a witness to his times. This biography offers a view of a suburban fugitive and adventurer; an incomparable witness; and a writer of unsurpassed humour, wisdom and compassion for the ridiculous.
