Description: (British Writer Known for His Louche Lifestyle as Much as for His Literary Output)
English novelist, playwright, and journalist, Simon Arthur Noël Raven, began his career as a book reviewer before joining the British Army, from where he was discharged for “unbecoming conduct”. Thereafter, at the age of thirty, he took up journalism and started writing, eventually becoming known especially for his depiction of the hedonisms of the upper class society in mid 1900s.
