From one of Britain's best-loved comedians comes this wonderfully
funny, sharp and touching memoir and a celebration of the bond
between man and dog - an autobidography, if you will. 'Hilarious
and moving, it's a lovely read and the perfect gift for dog lovers'
David Walliams 'I loved The Lick of Love. It's often insightful,
sometimes hilarious, frequently filthy - I'm a cat person, but if
anything were ever to convince me to get a dog, it would be this'
Joanne Harris '. . . wise and perceptive, and funny and moving.
Each dog you meet marks a different chapter of your life and Julian
writes about it so BEAUTIFULLY' Joanna Cannon 'A quirky and witty
excavation of memory lane in the company of his furry canine
friends' Dame Joan Collins The Lick of Love takes us on a tour of
Julian's colourful life - and wherever life has taken him, Julian
has had a dog by his side. Fanny the Wonder Dog, who came into
Julian's life when he was somewhat adrift, propelled him up the
ranks of the alternative comedy circuit and onto television.
Valerie, the whippet cross-breed escorted Julian through his
forties, the Germaine Greer to his Bernard Manning. Albert, a
jaunty geezer type who was sent to acclimatise Julian to middle age
and helped him seduce his now husband, before being joined by
naughty but nice Gigi, an unpredictable fur bullet of a dog. These
canine characters have been there, bearing witness, on and off
stage. Whether writing about encounters in seedy London nightclubs,
finding success on television with Sticky Moments, the death of his
partner, that Normant Lamont joke, a narrow squeak with a thwarted
eastern European plot to kidnap him, his move to the country, or
finally settling down, falling in love and getting married,
Julian's unique voice bounces off the page. Ultimately, The Lick of
Love is the story of a fascinating life and a love letter to the
dogs that have played a loving and near constant part of it. Told
with humour and great honesty, this promises to be one of the best
memoirs of the year. 'Whatever else is going on, it is the water
bowl in the kitchen, the dog hair on my jumper, the knowing gaze
from the dog in the basket beside me that comforts me and tells me
that all is well.' JC
