Jan Morris is one of the great British writers of the post-war era. Soldier, journalist, writer about places (rather than `travel writer`), elegist of the British Empire, novelist, she has fashioned a distinctive prose style that is elegant, fastidious, supple, & sometimes gloriously gaudy. For many readers she is best known for her candid memoir Conundrum, which described the gender reassignment operation she underwent in 1972. But as Ariel demonstrates, this is just one of the many remarkable facts about her life. As James Morris she was the journalist who brought back the story of the conquest of Everest in 1953 & who discovered incontrovertible evidence of British involvement in the Suez Crisis of 1956. She has been described by Rebecca West as the finest prose stylist of her time, & her essays span the entire urban world. Her writings on Wales represent the most thorough literary investigation of that mysterious l&. Derek Johns was Jan Morris`s literary agent for twenty years. Ariel is not a conventional biography, but rather an appreciation of the work & life of someone who besides being a delightful writer is known to many people as a generous, affectionate, witty & irreverent friend. It is published to coincide with her 90th birthday. ...
