Produktbeskrivning
''Moving, candid, vivid, it is all that we could hope for in a memoir of this unique and treasured writer'' ROWAN WILLIAMS
''An unusually intimate and affectionate portrait'' PATRICK BARKHAM, GUARDIAN
''As a boy I dreamed of scholars and saints wandering around markets and cornfields, and of artists and poets sitting under the trees.''
Ronald Blythe (1922-2023), author of the inimitable Akenfield, was a prolific and poetic chronicler of rural and spiritual life, nature and literatureHe spent a joyful century close to his Suffolk roots, time travelling in his imagination and publishing forty books and thousands of essays. His wide creative network included John and Christine Nash, Cedric Morris, Benjamin Britten, E. M. Forster, Patricia Highsmith and Richard Mabey.
From finding Thomas Hardy in February rain and John Clare in country tracks, to talking to his white cat and reading through a dragonfly''s wings, the Blythe gift was to marvel in the everydayHis writing was intimate, meditative and often laced with a wry humour, inviting readers to share his enchanting perspective on the world. Yet few knew the ''real'' Ronald Blythe. Leaving school at 14, he educated himself in libraries, churches and walks in the East Anglian landscape.
He never spoke about early poverty and traumatic experience in the war, while his sexuality was kept private except from those closest to him.
Drawing on unparalleled access to letters, notebooks, published works, drafts, and conversations from decades of friendship, Ian Collins tells the full story of Ronald Blythe for the first timeThe result is a sensitive, revelatory portrait which celebrates a fascinating, complex man and casts new light on one of our greatest writers.
