Download North Face of Soho AudioBook Free
Taking us from Fleet Street to Clive James on TV, from Russian shops 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 any life lived fully.It's not just that he writes a lot, but that he writes with strong perfectionism, and delivers his gags with honed elegance - Sunday Times. One of the most rewarding areas of this exuberant work is James' willingness to reveal the backstage mechanics of his professional life. This book is enormously entertaining - Sunday Telegraph. Regarding many people who attempt an autobiography even a single volume is one too many. Regarding Clive James the four volumes now around are too little. If the ultimate tally puts him up there with Marcel Proust, so much the better - FT Magazine. I feel I know more about the writer after reading it than I gleaned from most of his other books come up with. That is a book about hard-earned self-knowledge. Why is it funny is quite how hard the self-knowledge was to earn - William Leith, Evening Standard.
