Falling Towards England

by Clive James

'When we got off the ship in Southampton in that allegedly mild January of 1962 I had nothing to declare at customs except goose-pimples under my white nylon drip-dry shirt.' In the first volume of Unreliable Memoirs , we said farewell to our hero as he set sail from Sydney Harbor, bound for London, fame and fortune. Finding the first of these proved relatively simple; the second two less so. Undaunted, Clive moved into a bed and breakfast in a Swiss Cottage where he practiced the Twist, anticipated poetical masterpieces and worried about his wardrobe. 'A comic triumph, full of terrific jokes and brilliantly sustained set pieces' - Ian Hamilton, London Review of Books . 'It is something to do not merely with talent but with energy, chutzpah, appetite. Mr James has total mastery of his medium' - Anthony Burgess, Observer .
