Autorenporträt
Barbara Pym (1913-1980) was a bestselling and award-winning English novelist. Her first book, Some Tame Gazelle (1950), launched her career as a writer beloved for her social comedies of class and manners. Pym is the only author to be named twice in a TimesLiterary Supplement list of "the most underrated novelists of the century." She produced thirteen novels, the last three published posthumously. Her 1977 novel Quartet in Autumn was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Hilary Pym (1916-2004) was the younger sister of English novelist Barbara Pym, with whom she shared a home for most of her life. Pym was involved in setting up the Barbara Pym Society in 1993 and continued to champion her sister's work after her death, publishing multiple books to honor her memory, including Civil to Strangers and Other Writings, A Very Private Eye, A Lot to Ask: A Life of Barbara Pym, and The Barbara Pym Cookbook. Honor Wyatt (1910-1998) was an English journalist and radio presenter. She worked at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for most of her life. Wyatt is best known for her novel, The Heathen, and her contributions to the periodical Epilogue by poets Robert Graves and Laura Riding, and The Barbara Pym Cookbook by Hilary Pym.
