"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)
J. R. Ackerley (1896-1967) was for many years the literary editor of the BBC magazine The Listener. His works include three memoirs, Hindoo Holiday, My Dog Tulip, and My Father and Myself, and a novel, We Think the World of You (all available as New York Review Books).
