Kindred Spirits
Adrift in Literary London
Sinopsis
The humour of self-deprecation is peculiarly English. Few people do it better than Jeremy Lewis. His first two autobiographical volumes - Playing for Time and Kindred Spirits - are being reissued in Faber Finds to coincide happily with his third volume - Grub Street Irregular - being published by HarperCollins.
The second volume of Jeremy Lewiss wonderfully entertaining autobiography sees him starting out, with a mixture of diffidence and self-professed incompetence, on a career in publishing. Along the way we see him tucking into cod and chips with Jane and Geoffrey Grigson, drinking tea with Kingsley Amis and retsina with Patrick Leigh-Fermor.
When reviewing this book, Christopher Sinclair-Stevenson called it The funniest book I have ever read about publishing...this is not merely a hugely entertaining book, but an important one. That judgment still stands.
