Taking us from Fleet Street to Clive James on TV, from Russian
department stores to Paris fashion shows via fatherhood, some
killer bees, and a satire starring Anne Robinson as Mrs Thatcher,
North Face of Soho is the larger-than-life story of a life lived to
the full.It's not just that he writes a lot, but that he writes
with intense perfectionism, and delivers his gags with honed
elegance - Sunday Times. One of the most rewarding aspects of this
exuberant work is James' willingness to reveal the backstage
mechanics of his professional life. This book is enormously
entertaining - Sunday Telegraph. In the case of many people who
attempt an autobiography even a single volume is one too many. In
the case of Clive James the four volumes now in existence are too
few. If the final tally puts him up there with Marcel Proust, so
much the better - FT Magazine. I feel I know more about the author
after reading it than I gleaned from all of his other books put
together. This is a book about hard-earned self-knowledge. What
makes it funny is quite how hard the self-knowledge was to earn -
William Leith, Evening Standard.
