Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Clive James is a superb essayist - succinct, acute and entertaining. At many points in this volume I laughed out loud (rare!) and at many others I went scrabbling for a pencil to note some particularly wise or witty (often both) phrase. In my opinion, Clive James is THE cultural commentator of the age, and if you haven't read his work, you have a treat in store. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
The further thoughts of Clive James - illuminating, insightful, informed, inspired, intelligent. These are words that could - and do - apply equally to book or author; in fact, The Revolt of the Pendulum, Clive James latest essay collection, shows James at his most dazzling and versatile best yet. From the rules of grammar to the fundamentals of religion, from the culture of fandom to the cult of the critic, it's all there: his customary wit, learning and understanding; his precise way with words and pointed comments; his ear for language and eye for detail; his ability to focus on the finer points and the bigger picture simultaneously - not to mention the sheer scope of his subject matter.
