  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: John Wain
Wain was (much to his own annoyance) often referred to as one of the Angry Young Men, a term applied to 1950s writers such as John Braine, John Osborne, Alan Sillitoe and Keith Waterhouse thought to be radicals who bitterly opposed the British establishment and conservative elements of society at that time.
