Présentation de l'éditeur

A composite biography of Peter Cook, writer, innovator and comic genius, which describes his extraordinary wayward talent, mad inventiveness and zest for life. It covers his years as entertainer, from BEYOND THE FRINGE, which first hit London to rapturous reception in 1961; his foundation of the Establishment, forerunner of today's comedy clubs; his years with PRIVATE EYE magazine; and his partnership with Dudley Moore in this superbly funny dialogues, Dud and Pete and Derek and Clive. 'PETER COOK REMEMBERED is a moving celebration of a good man who made us laugh. Apart from being very funny, it has the bonus that each sketch illuminates not only the man but his time. It is beautiful book and Lin Cook's final poignant memoir of her husband is as good a love letter as you'll find anywhere' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
