Review:

" [A] wonderful book, the wit of which spills over even into the index....There' s so much here...[Bennett] is angry, hilariously self-pitying and he writes beautifully." -- "The Times" (London)
" Delightful." -- "Time"
" A classic performance." -- "Times Literary Supplement"
" Brilliantly perceptive...If anyone wants to define the distinctive Englishness of English writing, they can find it all in this book-- modesty, irony, self-deprecating wit, and supremely good observation." -- "Daily Telegraph"
" "
" The book [contains] perhaps the funniest piece ever written about the theater...marvelous, marvelous, marvelous." -- "The Independent"
" Irresistibly well written, wry, witty, every sentence a pleasure...Humane, observant, and sharply intelligent." -- "Sunday Time"
