Gerald Seymour

WORKS FROM THIS ARTIST

Gerald Seymour was born into a literary home - his father William Kean Seymour, was Chairman of the Poetry Society and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and his mother, Rosalind Wade, was a prolific novelist and was for many years editor of Contemporary Review. After taking a BA Hons at UC London (Modern History) he joined ITN as a trainee reporter in 1963.

In addition to covering the conflict in Northern Ireland, he reported from Vietnam, Borneo, Israel, the Lebanon and covered hi-jackings and assassinations across the Middle East and Europe (including the Munich Olympic attack).

He left ITN in 1978 to become a full time writer.

I reported for ITN from Northern Ireland between 1969 and 1975, including “Bloody Sunday”. Although I was traveling the world, Northern Ireland was the place I knew best: it was natural I would choose Belfast as the setting for my first attempt to write a novel. It became “Harry’s Game”.
