Nevil Shute (Nevil Shute Norway)

the long version

This is a well researched and scholarly review of the relationship between Nevil Shute's life in the real world, and the incorporation of his experiences into his fiction. It is not, perhaps, a conventional biography in that there is not a great deal of detail about Shute's personal life, although there are some accounts of his professional, business, and wartime occupations, and it is thus more a literary biography than an account of his life
