BIOGRAPHY
From the age of five, John Fraser was driven
to excel in schoolwork and exams. At 18, he was partially free - though alas,
no longer in London - to identify his two lifelong interests, writing
extravagant fictions and playing the horn. Teaching and research are cushioned ways of
staying at school, and doing schoolwork. They were an unsatisfactory
compromise which took him back to Cambridge, then Leicester and Canada.
Research bought him observation time in Italy, France, North America, many
parts of the USSR, and other places which appear in his novels and novellas.
His interest in Marxism, Italian and soviet, though productive, seemed of
little relevance in a Canadian university, and in the 1980s he invalided
himself out to Italy. He now lives in a gritty isolated village
twenty kilometres from Rome, from where he has toured as a horn soloist, and
continues to write his novels. · Contact – current residence: PLEASE
