Description
Clive James's love letter to Philip Larkin is a joyous and perceptive tribute to one of the 20th century's most cherished poets. This collection gathers all of James's writing on Larkin, including previously unpublished material, as he charts the complex and often misguided reputation that has surrounded Larkin since his death. James explores Larkin's poetry, novels, jazz, and literary criticism, as well as two major biographies and a stage portrayal, to argue that Larkin's genius was rooted in his unique personality - reticent, diffident, flawed, and all-too-human. Through this book, Larkin's poems are celebrated for their enduring appeal. By examining the many facets of Larkin's life and work, James sheds new light on a poet whose reputation has been obscured by controversy. This collection is a testament to Larkin's genius and a worthwhile read for anyone interested in his poetry and legacy.
