The novelist and critic PAUL BAILEY talks about a writer he greatly admires, Arthur Mor rison (1863-1945), who produced his most enduring work within the short space of eight years, when he was in his 30s. His early novels and stories - Tales of Mean Streets, A Child of the Jago and The Hole in the Wall - provide one of the most vivid and authentic accounts of life in the East End of London at the turn of the century.
