Zusatztext 'Inez Holden is a great lost voice from the literature of the Second World War. These pieces of fictionalised reportage place her on the same shelf of Forties-era writing as Julian Maclaren-Ross and Henry Green.’ — D J Taylor, author of The Prose Factory , and Lost Girls. Love, War and Literature, 1939-1951 .‘ There’s No Story There is a nuanced, understated and incisive portrait of wartime industry. It’s a classic of observational writing and a vital debunking of “people’s war” mythology.’ — Gill Plain, Professor of English Literature, University of St Andrews Informationen zum Autor Inez Holden (1903-1974) was a British journalist, novelist, BBC script-writer and cultural critic. As well as being one of the Bright Young Things of the 1930s, she was later associated with George Orwell (briefly his lover, also a writing partner), novelist Anthony Powell, H G Wells (she rented his spare apartment in London during the Second World War, and introduced him to Orwell, unsuccessfully), and was one of the very few women to be published in Cyril Connolly's haute highbrow magazine Horizon . Her WW2 writing was focused on the experiences of the working classes and the voiceless. She published ten books, a mixture of fiction and non-fiction, between 1929 and 1956.
