Enter a fox

by simon-gray

How much can go wrong in a day? How much can go wrong in a life? In this chronicle of a year of things going wrong (and just occasionally right), the author of the acclaimed The Smoking Diaries meets with triumph and disaster and treats those two impostors just the same - which is to say with the mixture of wit, anger, vexation and candour that has made Simon Gray one of Britain's greatest writers of comedy - including the comedy that lurks in tragedy.

I'd give 5 stars but just knocking the edge off the review seems appropriate.

A brief read which is acerbically witty as Gray wrestles with getting his latest play put on and he learns to use his Apple Mac. He's a bit of a "grumpy old man" but the thing is I find myself agreeing with more and more that he has to say. The incident with the theatre box office lady is so true

[Janelle V. Dvorak · Rating 5 out of 5]

The deaths of your friends will always haunt you.

[Vincent Eaton · Rating 4 out of 5]

A delightful amuse bouche that came before his tremendous accomplishment, "The Smoking Diaries".
