Bamboo

Autor William Boyd
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 aug 2008
Throughout his career as a novelist, William Boyd has never stopped writing non-fiction, providing a fascinating counterpoint to the world of his novels. Bamboo gathers together Boyd's writing on literature, art, the movie business, television, people he has met, places he has visited and autobiographical reflections on his African childhood and his years at boarding school. From Pablo Picasso to the allure of the British caff, from Charles Dickens to Catherine Deneuve, from mini-cabs to Brideshead Revisited, this collection proves an engrossing and revealing companion to the work of one of Britain's leading novelists.

'Wonderful ... there are enormous pleasures to be had from Bamboo'
'Serious, provocative, intelligent, Boyd's writing is endlessly open to ideas'
'One of the best writers in English'
