The Complete Unreliable Memoirs: Volume One: Volume 1 (Picador Collection, 14)

Om boken

Clive James, a true polymath, became a generation-defining voice as a broadcaster, a critic, a poet and an author. Among his greatest achievements, his five hilarious, heartwarming books of autobiography are collected now in two volumes: his Complete Unreliable Memoirs. With his trademark humour and self-deprecating style, Clive James proves a hugely entertaining and erudite guide to his own remarkable life. In this first volume, James explores his childhood adventures in the suburbs of post-war Sydney, his excited arrival in Sixties' London as a young man and aspiring poet, and his time at Cambridge University where he neglected his studies in favour of poetry, the stage, the music business and the film industry. 'It is one of the most tender, frank and, above all, funny accounts of growing up I have ever read' — Michael Parkinson 'A comic triumph' — London Review of Books
