Review:

'a debonair and delightful memoir, a book for hacks to delight in and others to wonder at, enviously perhaps'. --The Daily Telegraph

The best and funniest memoir of a writer's life since Patrick Campbell's 'My Life and Easy Times' ... [Catling's] account of his career as a journalist on both sides of the Atlantic is a wonderful record of the days before degrees in journalism and other professional qualifications became the norm. --Irish Examiner

A very enjoyable memoir ... decorated with a veritable galaxy of stars from the world of cinema, jazz, politics and literature ... a page-turner, a light-hearted take on a very full life which zips along at a rate of knots --Sunday Tribune
