Product Description
Review

Cleverer and funnier than any one person has a right to be ... inexhaustibly fascinating; Bennett has an eager, enquiring mind and a sharp way with words that can break your ideas open. (Sunday Times)

Is able to make the world dance with a single word ... On every page there is a phrase to make you smile, poetry disguised as comedy. (Craig Brown Mail on Sunday)

It is not only Bennett's claws that are sharp. So are his eyes ... confirms his reputation as one of the sharpest and funniest writers in the English language. (Robert Douglas-Fairhurst Spectator)

Wry and eloquent ... screamingly funny... his sentences are always beautiful. (Miranda Sawyer Observer 2016-10-02)

There is not a dull or uninteresting page here ... teddy bear he may be but he has a tiger's teeth. (The Herald)

There is no other writer, certainly none from any other era or nation, quite like Alan Bennett, and having this much more of his work is an uncovenanted blessing. (David Sexton Evening Standard)

An endlessly rewarding read by a man for all seasons and one who occupies a unique place in our culture and affections. (Liz Thomson The Arts Desk)

PRAISE FOR ALAN BENNETT:

'Alan Bennett, with his combination of pitiless observation and gentle understatement, is perhaps the best-loved of English writers alive today
(Sunday Telegraph)

Intelligent, educated, engaging, humane, self-aware, cantankerous and irresistibly funny (John Carey Sunday Times)

Not only my book of the year, it is my book of the decade (Nigel Slater on UNTOLD STORIES)

Alan Bennett's work, which stands as one of the major achievements across several genres in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, demands the very best of us: not our praise but our attention. (Ian Samson TLS 2016-10-12)
