Graham Swift Books in Order

Graham Colin Swift FRSL is a renowned British author, born in London, England in 1949. He is a graduate of Dulwich College, London, Queens' College, Cambridge, and the University of York. Swift's writing career has been distinguished by his close friendships with prominent literary figures, including Ted Hughes. His works have been adapted into acclaimed films, such as Last Orders, starring Michael Caine and Bob Hoskins, and Waterland, featuring Jeremy Irons. Notably, Last Orders won the 1996 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction, and was a joint winner of the Booker Prize in the same year, although its win was met with some controversy due to similarities with William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. Waterland, a novel of landscape, history, and family, set in The Fens, is widely regarded as one of the outstanding post-war British novels and has been a staple on the English Literature syllabus in British schools.
