Blaze of Obscurity JAMES, CLIVE
United Kingdom Pan Macmillan 2009 033051105X / 9780330511056 Paperback
Very Good Condition "Clive James on TV" is now in book form. For many people, Clive James will always be a TV presenter first and foremost, and a writer second - this despite the fact that his adventures with the written work took place before, during and after his time on the small screen. Nevertheless, for those who remember clips of Japanese endurance gameshows and Egyptian soap operas, Clive reinventing the news or interviewing Hefner and Hepburn, Polanski and Pavarotti, Clive's 'Postcards' from Kenya, Shanghai and Dallas, or Clive James Racing Driver, Clive's rightful place does seem to be right there - on the box, in our homes, and almost one of the family. However you think of him, though, and whatever you remember him for, "The Blaze of Obscurity" is perhaps Clive's most brilliant book yet. Part "Clive James on TV", it tells the inside story of his years in television, shows Clive on top form both then and now, and proves - once and for all - that Clive has a way with words...whatever the medium.

May Week Was In June JAMES, CLIVE
United Kingdom, 01 June 1991 Pan Books Ltd 1991 0330315226 / 9780330315227
Good , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Arriving in Cambridge on my first day as an undergraduate, I could see nothing except a cold white October mist. At the age of twenty-four I was a complete failure, with nothing to show for my life except a few poems nobody wanted to publish in book form.' "Falling Toward England" - the second volume of Clive James' "Unreliable Memoirs " - was meant to be the last. Thankfully, that's not the case. In "Unreliable Memoirs III", Clive details his time at Cambridge, including film reviewing, writing poetry, falling in love (often), and marrying (once). 'Every line is propelled by a firecracker witticism' - London. Review of Books: 'He turns phrases, mixes together cleverness and clownishness, and achieves a fluency and a level of wit that make his pages truly shimmer
