Iris Murdoch As I Knew Her by An Wilson
A brilliant, controversial and insightful biography. Fifteen years ago, Iris Murdoch asked A. N. Wilson to be her biographer. This book is a tribute to the novelist he knew for thirty years. This is not Iris Murdoch the Alzheimer's patient, but Iris Murdoch the witty conversationalist, the emotional chaotic and, above all, the writer. Both sad and farcical, this completely personal attempt to set the record straight gives us back the fiercely intelligent novelist and professional philosopher, and will cause amusement as it ruffles feathers.
Brilliant, mischievous and wholly accurate account -- Roger Lewis * Spectator *

Passionate, sympathetic and extraordinarily funny.. This is far from a conventional biography... and it is all the more enjoyable and insightful for that -- Hugh Massingberd * Mail on Sunday *
A brantub of scandal and a comic masterpiece -- John Carey * Daily Telegraph *
