This is Yates’ final book, a semi-autobiographical novel spanning a lifetime of events from the sinking of the Titanic to the notorious Tichborne murder case. It opens with Berry, one of British comic writing’s finest creations, at his funniest, and is a companion volume to 'As Berry and I Were Saying'. Pure, vintageYates.
Yates last book. Most of the "recollections" go nowhere. Far too many stories about his short time at the bar 50 years earlier. But still oddly readable.
