Summary:
This is the final volume of the trilogy that began with "The Smoking
Diaries". Simon Gray is determined to give up smoking. Really. At
last. Can he kick the habit of sixty years? Will he, sometime soon,
be able to leave his house without nervously feeling for his two
packets of twenty and his two lighters? As this wonderful, wayward
record of Gray's life progresses, these questions are overtaken by
much larger ones. What was sex like before 1963? Will his name be in
lights on Broadway? Why leave the bedside of his dying mother? With
their combination of comedy and serious reflection, of sharp
observation and painful self-disclosure, Simon Gray's diaries have
reinvented the memoir form and are destined to become classics of
autobiography.
