Synopsis

Crafty, cunning and certainly clever, Memory Stick is a firework display of different literary styles and genres. Crammed with detail and facts. Just like a memory stick. Book club readers have described this first volume of Oliver Milner’s entertaining autobiography as “William Boyd and Bill Bryson meet James Herriot and Sue Townsend.” Structurally Memory Stick is based around 134 footnotes, taken from opensource Wiki history references, between 1961 and 1987. The story starts in wet and windy North Yorkshire. Flies to Nigeria. Flies back again. Goes back to Nigeria. Flies back again. Neil Armstrong lands on the moon. Olly goes to Wales. Takes in Norwich, ends up in London. Tames a penguin, and then…? Just download Memory Stick, it gets rather interesting.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Oliver Milner is a pseudonym. Memory Stick is typical of the type of conversations we’ve all had about ourselves at some time or other, “Some of the facts may be distorted by time,” as Laurie Lee once wrote sagaciously. The author was born in Yorkshire, but grew up in post Biafran War Nigeria and boarding schools in England. His career started at the Financial Times but not too soon after he lost his Territorial Army commission in the Intelligence Corps, uncovered a spy, met Madonna, Mad Dog Adair, various Prime Ministers, a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and an X-rated film director. Today he lives near Epping Forest in the UK. He is married and has two grown up daughters, a tortoise, a Labradoodle, two cats and some sickly-looking runner beans.
