From TheJC.com:
Alan Sillitoe, the novelist, who has died aged 82, often spoke of his love for Jewish culture and Israel.
Married to American Jewish poet Ruth Fainlight, Nottingham-born Mr Sillitoe was one of Britain’s best-known novelists and famous as one of the 1950s “Angry Young Men”, though it was a label he disliked.
