Magic Moments by John Sutherland
'Books, films, music and landscapes mean different things at different times of our lives. We consume them and, mysteriously, they define us at the moment of that consumption.' As he traces the random growth of an odd mind through time, John Sutherland's moments are moving, funny and sharply realised, offering insights we will all instantly recognise and share.
This is a beautifully written record of how artistic experiences shape our livesPrepare to start thinking about your own magic moments. -- Lucy Tobin * Metro London *
Sutherland's company is always pleasant. -- Leo Robson * Financial Times *
