Sue Prideaux is a writer of biographies, novels and art monographs. Her first biography Edvard Munch: Beind the Scream won the James Tait Memorial Prize. Her latest is August Strindberg: A Life. Strindberg is mainly known, in the words of Arthur Miller, as "the mad inventor of modern theatre" which he succeeded in doing while being a poet, novelist, painter, photgrapher and all-round hell raiser. Sue's biography drills to his core.
STOP PRESS! Sue has won the Pol Roger Duff Cooper Prize for the best non-fiction book of 2012 for her Strindberg: A Life!
