Clive James wrote memoir, literary criticism, television criticism, poetry and cultural essays with an unusually wide range of reference. Unreliable Memoirs recounts his Australian childhood and early adulthood in a comic, self-mocking voice, while Cultural Amnesia gathers essays on writers, artists and political figures across the twentieth century. His television criticism made popular culture part of the same critical conversation as literature, and later poetry became increasingly reflective about illness and mortality. James's prose is witty, digressive and densely allusive. His books suit readers of literary essays, comic memoir, cultural criticism and broad-minded criticism that moves freely between high and popular culture. Read more Less
