Edward Upward

Recommended Posts

Writer, hung around with the likes of Sir Stephen Spender and WH Auden. Never got their profile but he's just won an award......and he's 101.

He might just be famous enough for our purposes though, is he a starter for 2006?

Did the award come in the form of a telegram from QEII?

He wouldn't pass my fame test. Who is he, what did he ever write? With an unusual name like that we'd probably remember him if he'd done anything notable. Not sure being friends with famous people makes one famous. Except Kato Kaelin.

How could anyone forget the Mortmere Stories or A Renegade in Springtime?

 

If he doesn't make the 2006 list we could at least wish him well when he turns 102 next month.

Upward renounced Stalin in the 1950s. Probably best to put Trotsky instead. Still, why let the truth stand in the way of senile Cold War rhetoric?

Guest mac tonight

holding up the old red book might seem a bit dated but consider the context, german and british commies where the only serious threat to hitler at the time he was coming to power in the early thirties wouldnt you have joined and plus havent you ever read dickens or anything people are still suffering under those same conditions 37 million under the poor ass line in the u.s. i know you seen a christmas carol. sure stalin blah blah millions dead. upward is famous but some people are scared of commies, aka sharing.

Communism really was the solution to all humanities problems, it worked out so well in Russia, China, North Korea.

 

Oh dear, I'm sure it will work one day.  :P

It seems to be working in China ;)

Q. Why did Edward Upward have three 'D's in his name?

 

A. Because if he didn't, then he would have been Eewah Upwah.
