Description

Clive James's fifth and final memoir, The Blaze of Obscurity, is a hilarious and thoughtful account of his life in the public eye. From his rise to full-time television in the 1980s, James delivers an inside story that is both entertaining and insightful.

A true original, James's career took him on a wild ride, from interviewing A-list celebrities like Hefner and Hepburn to exploring the world of reality TV and promoting the career of Margarita Pracatan. With his trademark humour and thoughtful erudition, James recounts it all with wit and candour.

This is a unique and engaging memoir that offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of Britain's most beloved writers and television personalities.
