About the author
Anthony James was born in 1956 and graduated as a mature student in English at University College Swansea in 1991. In 1983 - before going to university - he won an Eileen Illtyd David Human Rights Essay Prize for a study of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, later published in Contemporary Review. His poems, short stories, reviews and essays have been published in a large number of journals, and his book The Happy Passion: A Personal View of Jacob Bronowski was published by Imprint Academic in 2011. He is now working on a full-length book on Solzhenitsyn and simultaneously on a screenplay portraying his life.
