Posts: 1144 Novelist Susan Hill's current reading. « : 26.06.07 at 07:46 » Quote I notice that the novelist Susan Hill is at present reading Clive's North Face of Soho because "his memoirs have got to a period I remember well".     I think that she may well be reading it because she is trying to find out what she missed out on by residing outside London when she was a rising star in the literary world.     Kevin Cryan       https://peteatkin.com/forum?board=offtopic&action=display&num=1182840365&start=0#0     Kevin Cryan MV Fellow I love Midnight Voices!

With no job and a family to feed, he offered himself to every editor and producer around. Soon he had a weekly television column in the Observer and was appearing regularly on the medium himself.     Few writers could relate anecdotes about both Martin Amis and Peter Sellers, and the writing here is extremely stylish. But it is not only James's self-confessed "brashness" that starts to grate: it is also that his glitzy London life comes at the expense of his family in Cambridge.SR"   Kevin Cryan     https://peteatkin.com/forum?board=offtopic&action=display&num=1182840365&start=1#1     Mike Walters MV Fixture Posts: 127 Re: Novelist Susan Hill's current reading. « Reply #2: 28.06.07 at 09:43 » Quote Don't think anyone's mentioned that there was an interesting review of 'North Face of Soho' by Nicholas Lezard in his 'Paperback of the Week' column in The Guardian a couple of weeks back.  Still available on line at http://books.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,,2103953,00.html   There's also a short but largely positive review of 'Cultural Amnesia' in the current edition of The Word magazine.  Not available on-line as far as I can see.     Mike     https://peteatkin.com/forum?board=offtopic&action=display&num=1182840365&start=2#2     Pages: 1    Start of Thread | Latest Post Reply | Notify of replies | Send Thread | Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Pete Atkin -----------------------------  - News   - Newsletter   - Gigs   - *oDs   - Music   - Words   - Chums   - Shrinks   - Members ----------------------------- Not Pete Atkin -----------------------------=> Off-topic ----------------------------- Atkin admin -----------------------------  - Atkin FAQ   - Forum FAQ   - Tech Return to Top « Previous thread | Next thread »
