"The playwright Peter Nichols has been a compulsive diarist all his life, starting when he was eighteen and still going strong into his seventies. This selection covers one decade, more or less: the seventies. In it we watch him travel the distance between his first real hit, which came at the age of forty, to the first stirrings of his masterpiece, Passion Play."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
