Author(s): Clive James

Auto-Biography

The first three books in Clive James' autobiographical series - Unreliable Memoirs, Falling Towards England, and May Week Was In June - are collected here for the first time.The Picador Collection celebrates fifty years of Picador Books. I was born in 1939. The other big event of that year was the outbreak of the Second World War, but for the moment, that did not affect me. In typically hilarious and self-effacing style, James provides a hugely entertaining and erudite guide to his own remarkable life. The Complete Unreliable Memoirs: Volume One details James's childhood adventures in the suburbs of post-war Sydney, his excited arrival in London as a young man and aspiring poet, and the campus life at Cambridge that led to him falling in love (often) and getting married (once).This is one the most beloved and acclaimed series of memoirs of all time, from a true national treasure.
