Guardian Unlimited: The Authors

Part of The Guardian's Books website, these pages meet the same high standard as the rest of the site. Ranging from Peter Ackroyd to Emile Zola via Iain Banks, Richard Dawkins, Nick Hornby and George Orwell, to name but a few, each author listed in the A-Z directory has a page containing brief biographical details, what the critics think and intelligent suggestions for what to read next and why. To the left of each entry there are links to the author's homepage, other articles, book excerpts and reviews, where appropriate. Scroll down to On this Site to find links to Guardian articles about the author.
