Unreliable Memoirs [Paperback]

Before James Frey famously fabricated his memoir, Clive James wrote a refreshingly candid book that made no claims to be accurate, precise, or entirely truthful, only to entertain. In an exercise of literary exorcism, James set out to put his childhood in Australia behind him by rendering it as part novel, part memoir. Now, nearly thirty years after it first came out in England,Do not read this book in public. You will risk severe internal injuries from trying to suppress your laughter. . . . Whats worse, you cant put it down once started. Its addictive powers stun all normal decent resistance within seconds. Not to be missed.A best-selling classic around the world, Clive Jamess hilarious memoir has long been unavailable in the United States.
