Clive James: May Week was in June (Unreliable Memories III)
Description
Clive James: May Week was in June (Unreliable Memoirs continued) by Clive James. May Week in June is the third part of Clive James's not entirely reliable memoirs. When we last met our hero in Falling Towards England, he was living a hand-to-mouth existence while London was swinging its way into the Sixties. Pembroke College, Cambridge, offered a way out, if not up... At the freshman's drinks 'it struck me on the spot that if the English had spent their lives preparing to fit into one of these places, then the only smart thing to do was not to bother about fitting in at all.' And that included lectures. Clive decided he'd done Donne, and threw himself into the Footlights instead. In fact, he threw himself into anything - film reviewing, writing poetry, falling in love (often) - anything, so long as it wasn't on the curriculum. The dust jacket has light to medium general wear with light staining and the odd bump. The book remains tight, bright and most readable.
