Even As We Speak by Clive James
Effervescent, energetic and eclectic. this is one of the late Twentieth Century's finest minds (and bellies) on show. Even As We Speak is an illuminating and hilarious collection of essays by one o' Picador's most beloved authors. He focusses on Australian poetry on television today: on the rise and fall of various icons: on the question of the culpability of the ordinary German in the holocaust; and there is a compellingly provocative and much-talked about piece on the death of Diana. James has the largest backlist of any Picador author and his sales have been well over a million.
Clive James was educated at Sydney University and at Cambridge, where he was president of Footlights. In addition to his bestseller Unreliable Memoirs and his novel Brilliant Creatures he has published four mock-epic poems, three books of literary criticism, a book of verse letters and a verse diary. Between 1972 nad 1982 he was television critic for the Observer. Among his regular television programs have been 'Clive James on Television', 'The Late Clive James Show'. 'The Clives James Interview', 'The Talk Show' and many others.
