Review

"I would like to give J.R. Ackerley's My Father and Myself to the entire Tory Shadow Cabinet... It shows how tissue-thin the narrative of power and 'respectable' class-consciousness always has been. The likes of David Cameron should read this book and think again if they believe hegemony to be part of their birthright." Will Self. (Times)
