Περιγραφή για Mother's Boy: A Writer's Beginnings Howard Jacobson Vintage

\'One of the all-time great memoirs\' Daily Telegraph\'Wonderful...candid, shrewd and moving\' William Boyd\'Laugh-out-loud glorious and uproarious\' Simon SchamaHoward Jacobson\'s funny, revealing and tender memoir of his path to becoming a writer.Howard Jacobson was forty when his first novel was published. In Mother\'s Boy, he traces the life that brought him there. Born into a working-class Jewish family in 1940s Manchester, he did not lack encouragement or subject matter. Jacobson takes us from childhood and studying at Cambridge, through landing in Sydney as a maverick young professor, and on to his first marriage and the birth of his son. Later, he begins new - and often surprising - ventures in places as disparate as London, Wolverhampton, Boscastle and Melbourne.Infused with bittersweet memories of Jacobson\'s parents and friends, this is the story of a writer\'s beginnings, and of learning to understand who you are before you can become the writer you were meant to be.\'Hilariously brilliant\' David Baddiel\'Howard Jacobson brilliantly transforms calamity into rip-roaring comedy\' Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday Σελίδες: 288, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
