Falling Towards England by Clive James
In this second instalment of his hilarious, profound memoirs, the much-loved Clive James leaves Sydney for London and the hope of his fortune . . .
A comic triumph, full of terrific jokes and brilliantly sustained setpieces-- Ian Hamilton * London Review of Books *
James’ wickedly funny jokes and jibes make you laugh out loud and feel warm to the man. No wonder women wanted to feed him greens, and men lend him money. * The Times *
