Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. very interesting peek into the later years - I have yet to read the diaries that fall directly before this. ( ) The greater part of the book comprises extracts from the author's diaries from 2010 t0 2015. These are usually interesting although, as Mr Bennett himself says, there are perhaps a few too many visits to churches. The rest of the book contians a couple of play scripts, with the introductions to them and to other better known plays, or films made from them. Alan Bennett rarely disappoints. Apart from the last part of the book, which were plays he had written, the book was personal and as usual with Bennett delightful. It is semi diary form and relates events and stories about friends which are gentle and usually amusing. A relaxing read written by an author who doesn't take himself to seriously and remembers his working class origins. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Alan Bennett's third collection of prose Keeping On Keeping On follows in the footsteps of the phenomenally successful Writing Home and Untold Stories, each published ten years apart. This latest collection contains Bennett's peerless diaries 2005 to 2015, reflecting on a decade that saw four premieres at the National Theatre (The Habit of Art, People, Hymn and Cocktail Sticks), a West End double-bill transfer, and the films of The History Boys and The Lady in the Van. There's a provocative sermon on private education given before the University at King's College Chapel, Cambridge, and 'Baffled at a Bookcase' offers a passionate defence of the public library. The book includes Denmark Hill, a darkly comic radio play set in suburban south London, as well as Bennett's reflections on a quarter of a century's collaboration with Nicholas Hytner. This is an engaging, humane, sharp, funny and unforgettable record of life according to the inimitable Alan Bennett. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
