The Smoking Diaries

The Smoking Diaries, Volume 1

De: Simon Gray

Narrado por: Simon Gray

'The funniest book I've read all year.' Julian Barnes

When he turned sixty-five, the playwright Simon Gray began to keep a diary: not a careful honing of the day's events with a view to posterity but an account of his thoughts as he had them, honestly, turbulently, digressively expressed.

One of Britain's most amusing and original writers reflects on a life filled with cigarettes (continuing), alcohol (stopped), several triumphs and many more disasters; a record of shame, adultery, friendship and love. Few diarists have ever been so frank about themselves, and even fewer so entertaining.

Good but sad

Any additional comments?

Well-written and well read. Sad, though. Kept thinking I would get the next Diaries book but didn't.
