‘Smart and hilarious . . . this is James at his entertaining best’ Daily Express, ‘Irreverent and funny, clever without being cynical and not afraid to flex his wits on anything and everything’ Daily Telegraph, ‘Warm, witty whiplash prose . . . the talks read as well on the page as they sounded on the radio’ Sunday Times
Clive James was the multi-million-copy bestselling author of more than forty books. As well as his memoirs, he has published essays, literary and television criticism, travel writing, verse and novels. As a television performer he has appeared regularly for both the BBC and ITV, most notably as writer and presenter of the Postcard series of travel documentaries. His poetry collection Sentenced to Life and his translation of Dante's The Divine Comedy were both Sunday Times top ten bestsellers, and his collections of verse were shortlisted for many prizes. In 2012 he was appointed CBE and in 2013 an Officer of the Order of Australia. He died in 2019.
