'Miller was in his mother's womb when she left his father in
London, bringing to an end a brief marriage. Rebecca's Vest treats
subsequent beginnings and phases of his life: orphan-like
upbringing by female relatives in the heart of Midlothian; national
service; Cambridge and the start of his career in London, which was
to culminate in his founding editorship of the London Review of
Books ... Karl Miller is as generously sensitive to the gifts and
style of others as he is savagely precise about his own
shortcomings.' Mick Imlah 'Like walking barefoot on sharp pebbles -
and worth every memorable, searing step.' Valentine Cunningham 'A
dry, witty, elegant book, Rebecca's Vest stays in my mind while
other books fade.' Doris Lessing 'Fascinated by doubleness, the
author of a highly original critical work on the subject, Miller
calls himself a double man, but understates the case. There are
more than two of him in there.' Clive James
