The key literary figure in the pubs of post-war Fitzrovia, Maclaren-Ross pulled together his dispersed energies to write two great books: the posthumously published "Memoirs of the Forties" and this spectacular novel of the Depression, "Of Love and Hunger" - harsh, vivid, louche and slangy it deserves a permanent place alongside "Coming Up for Air" and "Hangover Square."
