Omschrijving

Reflections on Covid and confinement from the unparalleled pen of Alan Bennett.

The dyspeptic Pepys from Yorkshire, Alan Bennett, master of the "absurd and inexplicable" moments of ordinary life, offers up a curation of his thoughts, diaries and essays of the pandemic years that makes for a digestible stocking filler ... his thoughts and writing are as clear-eyed and vigorous as ever

From the singular pen of the incomparable Alan Bennett comes a drily witty and endlessly charming diary of life in and out of lockdown, running the gamut from park bench encounters to haircuts to Boris Johnson

Sparklingly sardonic ... There really is no one like Bennett, as this small gem demonstrates

Filled with elegiac memories and literary gossip ... a major National Treasure

Mournful and witty ... Bennett at his best

I worship Alan Bennett

His stories improve with each telling ... Perhaps it is Bennett's long experience as a dramatist that lends his prose such perfect timing

Our greatest living writer

He still has the sharpest pen in Britain ... Bennett is at his best when flirting with indecency ... mesmerising and unbearably sad

There is no other writer, certainly none from any other era or nation, quite like Alan Bennett

Cleverer and funnier than any one person has a right to be

His writing remains as deft and seamless as ever

Vivid and evocative in the way we've come to expect from him ... the diaries of the inimitable Alan Bennett are always highly anticipated

He may clearly be increasingly frail but, even in lockdown, Alan Bennett retains his customary waspish wit in the latest tranche of his diaries

Alan Bennett has been a leading dramatist since Beyond the Fringe in the 1960s. His works for stage and screen include Talking Heads, Forty Years On, The Lady in the Van, A Question of Attribution, The Madness of George III, an adaptation of The Wind in the Willows, The History Boys, The Habit of Art, People, Hymn, Cocktail Sticks and Allelujah! His collections of prose are Writing Home, Untold Stories (PEN/Ackerley Prize, 2006) and Keeping On, Keeping On. Six Poets contains Bennett's selection of English verse, accompanied by his commentary. Recent fiction includes The Uncommon Reader and Smut: Two Unseemly Stories.
