This hilarious instalment from Simon Raven's entertaining autobiography takes the reader to the four corners of the globe. A lifetime spent travelling - as a soldier and as a civilian - brought Raven into contact with an amazing selection of characters: Gore Vidal, Christopher Isherwood, Morgan Grenfell, plus eccentrics such as Colonel Cuthbert Smith and 'Parafit' Paradore. Army life, travels, meetings, dinners and calamities take place in Kenya, Bombay, the Red Sea, Greece and California, among other exotic locations. Wherever he is, Raven entertains us in typical style. No library descriptions found. |
