He wrote his first novel Hurry on Down in 1953, a comic picaresque about an unsettled university graduate who turns his life against conventional society. Other notable novels include Strike the father dead (1962), a tale of a jazzman's rebellion against his conventional father, and Young shoulders (1982), winner of the Whitbread Prize, the searing tale of a young boy facing the death of loved ones. Wain's use of lower-case letters in the titles of his novels indicates his non-conventional manner.
