Synopsis
21st century Britain: a point of view from Clive James, one of the fiercest and funniest critics.
The BBC Radio 4 series A Point of View has been on the air since 2007. Clive James was one of the most popular presenters, and here his original pieces – sixty in total – and previously unpublished postscripts are collected together in one volume.
Read along with Clive James as he offers his informative, thought-provoking and entertaining insights into everything from wheelie bins to plastic surgery, Elizabeth Hurley to the Olympics, Britain’s Got Talent to Damien Hirst, Harry Potter to giving up smoking – and plenty more besides.
‘Smart and hilarious . . . this is James at his entertaining best’ Daily Express
‘Irreverent and funny, clever without being cynical and not afraid to flex his wits on anything and everything’ Daily Telegraph
‘Warm, witty whiplash prose . . . the talks read as well on the page as they sounded on the radio’ Sunday Times
