Krátký popis
InFires Which Burned Brightly, Faulks, a reluctant memoirist,
offers readers a series of detailed snapshots from a life in
progress. They include a post-war rural childhood – ‘cold mutton
and wet washing on a rack over the range’ – the booze-sodden heyday
of Fleet Street and a career as one of the country’s most acclaimed
novelists.There are not one, but two daring escapes from boarding
school; the delirium of a jetlagged American book tour; the writing
ofBirdsongin his brother’s house in 1992; and memorable
trips across the channel to France. Politics, psychiatry and
frustrated ventures into the world of entertainment are analysed
with patience and rueful humour.The book is driven by a desire ‘to
arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.’ It
ends with a tribute to Faulks’s parents and a sense of how his own
generation was shaped by the disruptive power of war and its
aftermath.Sharply perceptive and alive with a generous
wit,Fires Which Burned Brightlyis a work of subtle yet
profound intelligence and warmth.
