Following the bestselling publication of THE KENNETH WILLIAMS DIARIES, the devastating self-portrait of one of our most loved and complex performers is completed with this marvellous selection of his letters.
‘Endlessly absorbing… all the letters can be read and reread with such pleasure… scintillating’
A. N. Wilson, Times Literary Supplement
‘His superb instinct for comedy is revealed time and again’
Jonathan Coe, Spectator
‘Fascinating… the camp fire crackles merrily’
George Melly, Sunday Times
‘A big dipper, full of acid drops and high rises, and it doesn’t matter where you start or finish - that’s the joy of it… rarely have I read a collection of letters of such broad scope in terms of their content and the diversity of their recipients’
Barry Cryer, Mail on Sunday
