Frederic Raphael was born in Chicago in 1931 and educated at Charterhouse and St John's College, Cambridge. His novels include The Glittering Prizes (1976), A Double Life (1993), Coast to Coast (1998)and Fame and Fortune (2007); he has also written short stories and biographies of Somerset Maugham and Byron.
