Synopsis

Dirk Bogarde returned to London in the late 1980s, having lived in France for 20 years, and at that point was asked by the Daily Telegraph to review a clutch of books. There followed eight years of exceptional writings that are collected for the first time in this book: pieces on fellow actors and directors like Charlotte Rampling and Joseph Losey,reminiscences of the French Riviera, a famous satirical piece on London dinner parties, reviews of books about the Holocaust, and so on. The result is a marvellously entertaining book that throws new light on the life, thoughts and character of one of Britain's most admired writers and actors.
