Elizabeth Jane Howard: Hilary Mantel on the novelist she tells everyone to read G Saturday 30 January 2016 11.00 GMT http://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/jan/30/hilary-mantel-elizabeth-jane-howard-novelist
Anita Brookner 1928-2016
British art historian and author of lean, elegiac and stylistically polished novels who was once labeled the “mistress of gloom” for her depiction of bleak and disappointed lives
(...)
The daughter of Jewish immigrants from Poland, Ms. Bruckner grew up surrounded by what she once called “transplanted and fragile people, an unhappy brood.”
That sense of an unfulfilled world carried over into a career as novelist that started in her 50s and secured a Booker Prize for her fourth novel, “Hotel du Lac,” published in 1984.
