Recenzii
'A remarkable portrait of a complex and Coleridgean figure, a man in two minds about himself for most of his life'
'Bassett is herself a fine, fierce theatre critic - her write-ups of Miller's productions have verve and perceptive grace. thorough. entertaining'
'An admirably thorough job of a biography: sympathetic, deeply researched, informed by long conversations with Miller and dozens of friends, colleagues and, occasionally, enemies.'
'Kate Bassett's fascinating book draws together the many strands that combine to make this renaissance man.'
'Sir Jonathan Miller is a remarkable man. As one of the great egocentrics of his generation, he would not question this judgment... Ms Bassett's first-class biography does not mask Sir Jonathan's weaknesses, but she says that, "in conversation, his flaws seem more tragicomic than intolerable-the bile and bitterness never quite obliterate the man's warmth."'
'Absorbing, in-depth and erudite. Bassett, who clearly likes and respects her subject but isn't overawed by him, sensibly marshals the arguments on both sides and leaves it up to the reader how posterity will regard Miller.'
'Miller's bravura is exemplary and life-enhancing, so it is sad to learn from Kate Bassett's magnificent biography (brilliantly researched - even the extensive endnotes are a joy) that the man himself somehow feels hard-done-by, unappreciated and under-rewarded.'
'Bassett's beautifully balanced account. describes how caring [Miller] can be to friends, and how he can enthuse them with his dazzling cross-disciplinary ideas. His secret of survival? For every bridge he burns, he's somehow able to build another. He's inexhaustible, and unceasingly curious. Bassett treats her subject with respect, and, thankfully, without kid gloves. fascinating'
'There is no more extraordinary figure in British public life than Jonathan Miller. His achievement is undeniable, as In Two Minds makes clear, and though his workaholic days are behind him, he reveals no signs of retirement.'
Scrupulously researched, always fascinating... As Bassett says in her admirably measured book, there's 'bile and bitterness' here. As she demonstrates, there's also genius.
Kate Bassett's brilliant, exhaustively researched biography... reminds us what a truly astonishing man he is. Just try to imagine post-war British culture without him.
Compelling.. a dense, exhaustively well-researched portrait... a persuasive, ultimately rather sad portrait of a North London Jewish boy.
'Jonathan Miller.prodigiously multi-talented: mimic, comic actor, opera director, television-talker, scientist - he has excelled in all those spheres. This absolutely brilliant biography.shows us that Miller is still the brilliant schoolboy, fascinated by dissecting animals and reading philosophy, still with an adolescent sense of mischiefand the adolescent sense of grievance.'
'Showing tremendous understanding of the poisoned chalice that his Janus-faced intellect has been. A remarkable portrait of a complex and Coleridgean figure, a man in two minds about himself for most of his life.'
'Absorbing, in-depth and erudite.Bassett's book.produce[s] an appealingly multifaceted figure of a man whose polymathic genius has never been in doubt, butwhose refusal to toe the British line of self-deprecation has seen him become something of a prophet without honour at home.'
'Sympathetic, deeply researched, informed by long conversations with Miller and dozens of friends, colleagues and, occasionally, enemies.'
