Up The Junction by Nell Dunn

Up The Junction by Nell Dunn

Published in 1963, Up the Junction won the John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize and was adapted into a film. It also inspired a song of the same name.

Her art is ignited by voice, especially by voice more usually given no societal, literary or aesthetic power or space but whose authority, as you hear it, is unquestionable -- Ali Smith * Guardian *
What's striking at this distance is not so much Dunn's frank depiction of female promiscuity - which caused quite a stir at the time - but her distinctive, pared-down style -- David Evans * Independent *
Unflinching look at the lives of working-class women, presented without any moralising or judgment, and caused a sensation -- Constance Craig Smith * Daily Mail *
The random violence, the short-lived pleasures, the restlessness, the hopelessness, it's all caught here in a series of casual impressions which could not be more insistent * Kirkus Reviews *
