This is a new collection of illuminating and hilarious essays from Clive James. As ever, he brings his celebrated wit to bear on a wide variety of subjects, from the Sydney Olympics to television today, from Mark Twain to Peter Cook, from Australian culture to front-page British monarchy. While his style is often wickedly gleeful, he also plays a more serious journalistic role, discussing the rise and fall of various icons or the question of the culpability of the ordinary German for the Holocaust. Enormously funny, shrewd and intelligent, these essays offer something for everyone.
