Even As We Speak
Clive James
400 pages
Synopsis
Effervescent, energetic and eclectic, this is one of the late Twentieth Century's finest minds (and bellies) on show.
Even As We Speak is a compelling collection of essays in which Clive James focusses on Australian poetry; on television today; on the rise and fall of various icons; on the question of the culpability of the ordinary German in the holocaust; and there is a compellingly provocative and much-talked about piece on the death of Diana.
