Falling Towards England | Clive James

1 post | 1 read

In the first volume of Clive James's autobiography, Unreliable Memoirs, we said farewell to our hero as he set sail from Sydney Harbour, bound for London, fame and fortune. Finding the first of these proved relatively simple; the second two less so. Undaunted, Clive moved into a bed and breakfast in a Swiss Cottage where he practised the Twist, anticipated poetical masterpieces and worried about his wardrobe . . . Falling Towards England is the entertaining and erudite second part in Clive James' life story, which he continues in May Week Was in June, North Face of Soho and The Blaze of Obscurity.

Falling Towards England | Clive James

pick

It only covers a few years but offers an insight into another era as he writes about when he emigrated to England in the sixties but had not yet started studying at Cambridge. Good to learn a little bit more about this cultural icon of Australia - although it seems his professional life was entirely lived in England!
