... it is a charming memoir of Aldiss's life and career ... It is not quite an autobiography, and is, like Lord Dunsany's three volumes starting with Patches of Sunlight, reticent on personal matters, but rich with anecdotes, observations, wit, and some wisdom... Recommended. Prix et récompenses
A most entertaining volume of memoir from a legend of science fiction. A writer's life can be exciting, unexpected, routine, lonely - and sometimes all on the same day! Brian Aldiss recounts the highs and lows of his professional career in this entertaining and revealing book. Here are his adventures with publishers, booksellers, agents, other authors, and readers. Here are some of the complex questions of what makes and sustains a successful modern writer. The tales he tells are wry, witty, informative - beginning with his first job at the Oxford bookshop that was to be the setting for his first book of fiction, The Brightfount Diaries, and ending as he undergoes one of the most gruelling experiences of a writer's life: the publication of a new novel, in this case his brilliant Forgotten Life.

"The home of the Kirov is a grandly restored eighteenth century building. The company itself is magnificent.
That night, they were dancing Hamlet to a modern score.
The ballet stayed very close to Shakespeare's original story. But even a faithful Hamlet becomes, without words, the story of two rather pleasant middle-aged people who marry and, on their honeymoon in Elismore, are pestered by a young fellow in black. This adolescent, contrary to the usual rule of adolescence, loves his father, who has died, and spends all evening dancing in and out, mucking up the honeymoon." ( )
