Untold Stories by Alan Bennett

emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

4.5

He’s a treasure!  From the early novellas zfound, to the poignant memoir of his parents, I’m a sucker for Alan Bennett’s writing, whether diary entries , essays, sketches.  Another omnibus volume that I’d missed between the one I picked up inOxford, and the earlier.  Very little fails to interest at least a bit.
“For a writer, nothing is ever as bad as it is for other people because, however dreadful, it may be of use.”  And such moments are indeed included.
