1.Cultural Amnesia: Necessary Memories from History and the ArtsCultural Amnesia: Necessary Memories from History and the Arts
from W. W. Norton
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
This is an Eschatological laundry list by a sophisticated cosmopolitan iconoclast who does not mind speaking his mind, and one who has a rich history of experience and a big mind with which to speak.
The only part that distressed me, in addition to seeing two of my favorites heroes gored, Miles... more info

from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $24.11

Customer Review:
Clive James repeatedly asked: why did Primo Levi kill himself? I guess it never occurred to Clive that the simple pain of old age is enough to make anyone suicidal. Healthy youngish people always reveal their fatuous ignorance whenever they express shock about the suicidal tendencies of old people.... more info

from audible.com
Price: $16.21

Customer Review:
It's a decade since I read the first instalment of these Memoirs but the contrast effect is strong nevertheless. I remember the first book was funny and well written but I don't remember it having much point. In fact that was the point: "...someone who had done nothing writing a book about how he... more info

6.Cultural AmnesiaCultural Amnesia
from Picador

Customer Review:
I have enjoyed reading this elegant book partly, I suppose, because some of my suspicions about the left were correct. From hundreds of pencil marks, I will be making numerous notes.
The cultural icons that I heard about, and those that I read years ago are resurrected in this tome, or at... more info

7.May Week Was In JuneMay Week Was In June
from Pan Books Ltd

Customer Review:
This looks like being the last personal memoir Clive James intends to let us have. After he left Cambridge he became well-known from the media, first as BBC film critic, then as the television critic of The Observer on Sundays, and latterly with several shows of his own. He must be nearer 70 than 60... more info

from Picador
Price: $15.88

Customer Review:
"Reliable essays". Disregard the insipid choice of book title. Proof positive that you can't host TV shows and then moonlight as an intellectual is on nearly every page of this awful "Best of".
Clive James, like H.L. Mencken before him, is an autodidact. And there the similarities begin and end... more info
