Quite an interesting family though, Anglo-Irish aristocrats, with many notable forbears. Although this particular branch of the family were mostly broke despite living in a grand (but decrepit) country house. Patrick's father was an important leftwing journalist in the UK, and his older brother Alexander ditto but here in the US for much of his career. Lots of recognizable literary characters show up (and lots of politifcal and aristocratic ones that I guess you'd have to be British to know of). I have a soft spot for Ireland and its history and ditto the UK, so I found it all entertaining, in a sort of Downton-Abbey-without-the-jewels-and-gowns way. But I was disappointed that it didn't really cut it as a memoir of living with polio. Maybe Patrick Cockburn is just too much the reticent (Irish-)Englishman.… (altro)
