Book Reviews of Untold Stories
Book Review: 700 pages just melt away. . .
Summary: 5 Stars
Reading Untold Stories is like having an articulate and witty companion come for tea. It stands rereading, nay, it encourages it. My favourite parts are the little nuggets of goodness in the diaries. He talks about how and why, like many of us, he chooses some plates over others: bowls or forks are either friendly or unfriendly, or thick enough to handle the snub. The simple pleasures and obsurdities of human life with all its foibles are here in humourous relief. . . Enjoy
Summary of Untold Stories
An instant bestseller in the U.K., Untold Stories brings together the finest and funniest writing by one of England's best-known literary figures. In his first major collection since Writing Home, Alan Bennett opens with a poignant memoir of growing up in Leeds and closes with an account of his cancer diagnosis and recovery, with everything from his much-celebrated essays to his irreverent comic pieces and reviews in between.
