Barstow, Stan ( Stanley Barstow) (1928– ), novelist. His first novel, A Kind of Loving (1960), is the present-tense narration of office-worker Vic Brown, trapped into marriage by his infatuation for small-minded Ingrid and harassed by his mother-in-law; it was followed by other vivid portrayals of Yorkshire life, which contributed to the development of the regional novel associated with Sillitoe, Waterhouse, Braine, and others. Later works include a trilogy, Just You Wait and See (1986), Give Us This Day (1989), and Next of Kin (1991); and an autobiography (2001).
