Description
Falling Towards England Unreliable Memoirs II by Clive James is a comic and candid account of his early years in 1960s London. With nothing but his wits and a passion for poetry, James navigates the challenges of finding work and making a name for himself. From one unsatisfactory flat to another, James recounts his struggles to make ends meet while pursuing his creative ambitions. His story is one of perseverance and wit, as he faces down poverty and uncertainty with characteristic erudition and humour. This second instalment in James' memoir series offers a fresh perspective on the formative years that shaped him into the acclaimed author, poet and broadcaster he would become.
