Nigel Cawthorne

    27 mars 1951

    Cet auteur anglo-américain est connu pour son œuvre considérable en fiction et en non-fiction. Son écriture explore souvent l'histoire populaire, présentée sous forme de compilations concises dépourvues de citations académiques formelles. Il décrit lui-même son environnement créatif comme une "usine à écrire des livres", où nombre de ses œuvres sont nées de commandes. L'une de ses contributions les plus notables, une autobiographie controversée d'un musicien, a déclenché des années de batailles juridiques après sa sortie.
