This lively volume of Philip Larkin's prose writings - reviews and critical assessments of books and writers; pieces on jazz, mostly uncollected; some long and revealing interviews - is an entertaining and significant collection stamped by wit, originality and intelligence.

This text gathers together the many interviews, broadcasts, statements and reviews that were omitted from Required Writing . Taken together the collection fills in a consistent but sometimes unexpected portrait of Philip Larkin - mordant, intolerant, generous, but always himself.

Brings together Larkin's reviews, articles and essays written for The Guardian, The Observer, The New Statesman and numerous other publications. As well as being passionate and knowledgeable about jazz, the pieces are beautifully written.
