Présentation de l'éditeur :
In 2010, Clive James was diagnosed with terminal leukemia. Deciding that "if you don't know the exact moment when the lights will go out, you might as well read until they do," James moved his library to his house in Cambridge, where he would "live, read, and perhaps even write." James is the award-winning author of dozens of works of literary criticism, poetry, and history, and this volume contains his reflections on what may well be his last reading list. A look at some of James's old favorites as well as some of his recent discoveries, this book also offers a revealing look at the author himself, sharing his evocative musings on literature and family, and on living and dying. As thoughtful and erudite as the works of Alberto Manguel, and as moving and inspiring as Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture and Will Schwalbe's The End of Your Life Book Club, this valediction to James's lifelong engagement with the written word is a captivating valentine from one of the great literary minds of our time.
Revue de presse :
The literary judgements in Latest Readings are as a sound as ever... [James s] credo: The critic should write to say not look how much I ve read but look at this, it s wonderful . I submit: reader, look at this book, it s wonderful. --Philip Collins, the Times
His qualities are his capacious intelligence, sardonic voice and fondness for wordplay and paradox...James has approached the time of his vanishing with grace and good humour, not sentimentality or anger. These essays and poems are death-haunted but radiant with the felt experience of what it means to be alive, even when mortally sick, especially when mortally sick. --Jason Cowley, Financial Times
The author delivers a sign-off of substance... The unadulterated love of literature proves infectious and a little humbling. --James Kidd, the Independent
