           This is a great book on the 1970’s written by a great man.

Review: A real blast from the past in Clive’s inimitable style. Relive McEnroe, Borg, Connors etc painted, in words, in a way that makes your VR Goggles look puny. His ongoing mission to be educated in Ballet and Opera is touching and funny. Contemporary perspectives from the 70s on things that still afflict us now.

Clive James AO CBE FRSL (born Vivian Leopold James; 7 October 1939 – 24 November 2019) was an Australian critic, journalist, broadcaster, writer and lyricist who lived and worked in the United Kingdom from 1962 until his death in 2019. He began his career specialising in literary criticism before becoming television critic for The Observer in 1972, where he made his name for his wry, deadpan humour. During this period, he earned an independent reputation as a poet and satirist. He achieved mainstream success in the UK first as a writer for television, and eventually as the lead in his own programmes, including …on Television.
