Burns, Alan (1929– ), English novelist, born in London, also a lecturer in creative writing. His work is marked by a commitment to experimental narrative, with techniques encompassing surrealism and the use of ‘found conversation’. His novel
Europe After the Rain (1965) is a challenging narrative set in a future Europe devastated by catastrophic war. The prose is abrupt and austere, the mood one of isolation and horror. Other novels include
The Day Daddy Died (1981), which is more traditional but retains a subversive edge, and
Revolutions of the Night (1986).
