Produktbeskrivning
In the 1980s, Clive James found his way into full-time television. In The Blaze of Obscurity, his fifth book of memoir, he delivers the inside story. A hilarious, thoughtful, warts and all account of a life in the public eye.
''Clive James is an intellectual as well as a joker, a wise man as well as a wit'' – Observer
As his fame grew, Clive James was never alone – except in the toiletBut there, cubicle walls provided little protection against young men, standing at urinals, talking behind his back:
Jesus, he''s looking rough.
And it''s only Monday.
Taking it in his stride and batting away accusations of selling out, Clive James was in television for the adventureAnd an adventure it was. Rollicking through the end of one century and the beginning of the next, he interviews Hefner and Hepburn, Frank Sinatra and Françoise Sagan, Peter Ustinov (''even his nose could act'') and Ronald Reagan. He explores the Las Vegas Grand Prix and the Louisville Kentucky Holiday Inn talent pageant, sends Postcards from Kenya, Shanghai, Tokyo and Dallas, interprets the news, discovers the first bizarre examples of what has come to be known as reality TV, and promotes the career of the irrepressible Margarita Pracatan – all told here with his trademark humour and thoughtful erudition.
The Blaze of Obscurity is the fifth and final book of memoir from Clive James.
