Cultural Amnesia: Necessary Memories from History and the Arts written by Clive James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is a wonderful, entertaining collection of descriptions of a collection. I didn’t know all the people described. Along the way I enjoyed learning a hell of a lot even about the ones I thought I did know. Clive James is the master narrator. He connects stories, intertwines histories and has an amazing insight into the abundance of literary styles and influences.
