'I seem to have banged on this year rather more than usual. I make
no apology for that, nor am I nervous that it will it make a jot of
difference. I shall still be thought to be kindly, cosy and
essentially harmless. I am in the pigeon-hole marked 'no threat'
and did I stab Judi Dench with a pitchfork I should still be a
teddy bear.' Alan Bennett's third collection of prose Keeping On
Keeping On follows in the footsteps of the phenomenally successful
Writing Home and Untold Stories, each published ten years apart.
This latest collection contains Bennett's peerless diaries 2005 to
2015, reflecting on a decade that saw four premieres at the
National Theatre (The Habit of Art, People, Hymn and Cocktail
Sticks), a West End double-bill transfer, and the films of The
History Boys and The Lady in the Van. There's a provocative sermon
on private education given before the University at King's College
Chapel, Cambridge, and 'Baffled at a Bookcase' offers a passionate
defence of the public library. The book includes Denmark Hill, a
darkly comic radio play set in suburban south London, as well as
Bennett's reflections on a quarter of a century's collaboration
with Nicholas Hytner. This is an engaging, humane, sharp, funny and
unforgettable record of life according to the inimitable Alan
Bennett.
