Synopsis

As close to an autobiography as we can ever expect, this is a collection of reminiscences, speeches, book reviews, parodies and essays - art fakery, his schooldays, the differences between Canadians and Americans, Thackeray, Ibsen, writing, reading are among the many subjects covered - along with tantalizing fragments from Davies's own unpublished diary.
