Basil Street Blues by Michael Holroyd

This, in his fashion, is Michael Holroyd's autobiography, a biography of a biographer, and a continuation of his never-ending love affair with human nature. Part detective story, part family-saga and part an oblique voyage of self discovery, Basil Street Blues is an entrancing story, startlingly funny, profoundly moving; a very English tragic-comedy.
Michael Holroyd has written celebrated biographies of Hugh Kingsmill, Augustus John, and Bernard Shaw, as well as the acclaimed Basil Street Blues and Mosaic. He lives in London with his wife.
