Omschrijving
The first three volumes of the critically-acclaimed, million copy bestselling memoir series from the inimitable author, poet and broadcaster Clive James - a hilarious and poignant account of a truly extraordinary life.
It is one of the most tender, frank and, above all, funny accounts of growing up I have ever read
You can’t put it down once started. Its addictive powers stun all normal, decent resistance within seconds. Not to be missed (Unreliable Memoirs)
Clive James is an intellectual as well as a joker, a wise man as well as a wit
All that really needs to be said to recommend Unreliable Memoirs is that James writes exactly as he talks, which is all his millions of fans could wish (Unreliable Memoirs)
Nobody writes like Clive James; he has invented a style
A comic triumph, full of terrific jokes and brilliantly sustained setpieces (Falling Towards England)
James’ wickedly funny jokes and jibes make you laugh out loud and feel warm to the man. No wonder women wanted to feed him greens, and men lend him money (Falling Towards England)
Clive James was the author of more than forty books. As well as essays, he published collections of literary and television criticism, travel writing, verse and novels, plus five volumes of autobiography, Unreliable Memoirs, Falling Towards England, May Week Was In June, North Face of Soho and The Blaze of Obscurity. As a television performer he appeared regularly for both the BBC and ITV, most notably as writer and presenter of the Postcard series of travel documentaries. He published several poetry collections, including the Sunday Times bestseller Sentenced to Life, and a translation of Dante’s The Divine Comedy, which was also a Sunday Times bestseller. In 1992 he was made a Member of the Order of Australia and in 2003 he was awarded the Philip Hodgins memorial medal for literature. He held honorary doctorates from Sydney University and the University of East Anglia. In 2012 he was appointed CBE and in 2013, an Officer of the Order of Australia. He died in 2019.
