Synopsis

Though best known now as a political humorist, Matthew Parris's route from the African bush where he started life, to his perch in the Commons Press Gallery, has been anything but direct. Now peering down at the third prime minister and fourth leader of the opposition he has lampooned for The Times, Parris reflects on an extraordinary life. Often from the sidelines but sometimes from the scrum, Parris has enjoyed observer status at some of the bigger events in recent history. But there is another story, about family, friends, expeditions to the ends of the earth - and being gay. Matthew Parris has done a lot and seen a lot. He writes about it for the first time as a personal story.
