Description
Clive James's collection of writings about Philip Larkin gathers together his most insightful and engaging thoughts on this major twentieth-century poet.
James explores Larkin's poetry, novels, jazz, and literary criticism, as well as the two major biographies and stage portrayals that have shaped our understanding of Larkin's reputation since his death. He argues that Larkin's genius was rooted in his unique personality, which he saw as "reticent, diffident, flawed, and all-too-human".
This book is a love letter from one of the world's best living writers to one of its most cherished poets, offering a joyous and perceptive celebration of Larkin's work. With erudite and entertaining prose, James sheds new light on Larkin's life and art.
