Roger Lewis is a Welsh academic, biographer and journalist. He has written a biography of Anthony Burgess, which prolific author and essayist Tim Conley described thusly: "Lewis at work here is like nothing so much as an adolescent publicly masturbating on the exhumed corpse of his father, and thinking this performance the acme of wit." Lewis was raised in Bedwas, Monmouthshire, where he was educated at Bassaleg School. He then attended the University of St Andrews before studying further at Magdalen College, Oxford. He became a Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford, in 1984. Lewis has also published books on Laurence Olivier, Peter Sellers and the Carry On actor Charles Hawtrey. [More at Wikipedia]
