About This Item
New York:: Grove Weidenfeld,, (1991). Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a fine dustjacket (remainder mark). First US printing. Continues his autobiography from 1959, when he returned to England from Malaya to a diagnosis that he had only a year to live to 1982, the centenary of James Joyce's birth. "He turned himself into a "busy hack" to earn royalties for his wife Lynne, whose suicide attempt and subsequent death from alcoholic cirrhosis left him with deep-seated guilt. His hectic writing life, 'an agony mitigated by drink,' was uplifted in 1968 when he married his Italian mistress Liana Macellari, who had borne him a son five years earlier. With disarming candor and coruscating wit, the prolific novelist-critic discusses his distaste for the Beatles and the swinging '60s, the writing and filming of A Clockwork Orange, his peripatetic existence from Singapore to Manhattan, the ordeal of teaching and a roller-coaster career.. . a joy to read." (PW) Index. xi, 404 pp.
