Praise for Richard Bradford’s previous works:
For Lucky Him: The Life of Kingsley Amis
"sharp and convincing… written with magisterial skill"
The Daily Telegraph
"perceptive… intelligent… written with an unstrident ease and sympathy that would surely have pleased his subject" The Spectator
For First Boredom, Then Fear: The Life of Philip Larkin
"quite the best book [on him] yet to appear… a masterful analysis… Bradford is in such complete command of his subject matter, nothing escapes him. It is as if he has had access to Larkin’s very thought processes. A great biography of a great artistic genius. Utterly magnificent"
The Daily Express
"extraordinary… quite the best thing to appear on Larkin in ages"
