The nation could now, more than ever, do with the acute observation sof this engaging, vastly knowledgeable, self-deprecating, untidy, poetic, slightly boozy figure, full of laughter and melancholy The Daily Telegraph '[recalls] a vanished age of prose civility' -- Steven Poole Guardian, The Best Stocking-filler Books, Christmas 2012
