Description
Howard Jacobson's memoir of his path to becoming a writer is a humorous and revealing account of his life. Born into a working-class Jewish family in 1940s Manchester, Jacobson recounts his journey from childhood to landing his first novel at the age of forty.
He takes us on a tour of his early years, studying at Cambridge, moving abroad as a young professor, and navigating new relationships and experiences. Infused with bittersweet memories of his parents and friends, this memoir is both laugh-out-loud funny and poignant.
This book offers a unique insight into the life of a writer's beginnings, and how one learns to understand who they are before becoming the person they were meant to be. With its blend of comedy and poignancy, it is a story that will resonate with anyone interested in writing, identity, or just a good tale.
