Among his greatest achievements, his five hilarious, heartwarming books of autobiography are collected now in two volumes: his <i>Complete Unreliable Memoirs</i>.<br><br>''It is one of the most tender, frank and, above all, funny accounts of growing up I have ever read'' – Michael Parkinson</b><br><br>With his trademark humour and self-deprecating style, Clive James proves a hugely entertaining and erudite guide to his own remarkable life. <br><br>In this first volume, James explores his childhood adventures in the suburbs of post-war Sydney, his excited arrival in Sixties’ London as a young man and aspiring poet, and his time at Cambridge University where he neglected his studies in favour of poetry, the stage, the music business and the film industry.<br><br>From a true national treasure, this is a collection of one of the most well-loved and acclaimed memoirs of our times.<br><br><i>I was born in 1939. The other big event of that year was the outbreak of the Second World War, but for the moment, that did not affect me . . .</i><br><br><b>''A comic triumph'' – London Review of Books<br><br><i>The Complete Unreliable Memoirs: Volume One</i> collects the first three books of autobiography from Clive James: <i>Unreliable Memoirs</i>, <i>Falling Towards England</i>, and <i>May Week Was In June</i>.<br><br>The final two books, <i>North Face of Soho </i>and<i> The Blaze of Obscurity</i>, are available in <i>Volume Two</i>.</b><br><br>Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.</p>
