All Points North de Simon Armitage

All Points North

Autor Simon Armitage
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 mai 2009
'A joy. Celebrates the real world and revels in its mad glory' Sue Townsend, Sunday Times
_____________________________________

All Points North is part-memoir and part-excursion. Charting the rugged and uneven terrain of a writer's formative years - from tax problems to probation to American tours, football to family to running away to Iceland - Simon Armitage explores growing up and being Northern. It's about humour, language, writing, film, houses, homes, time wasters, one loose tyre, you, me and all points in-between.

Recenzii

A joy. Celebrates the real world and revels in its mad glory
I was irresistibly reminded of Alan Bennett - there is the same wry humour, wonderfully telling selection of detail or remark . . . a fine balance of humour and poignancy
The salty prose of an original poetic voice
A thoughtful, witty combination of travel writing, autobiography and Alan Bennett-style diary
Laugh-out-loud funny . . . has all the resonant precision of a poet's ear and eye
An original and talented writer . . . highly entertaining and there are flashes of wit and moments of tenderness and brilliantly accurate observation
The best book I have read in a long time on what he insists is the true North of England
A delight - high-spirited, light-footed, very funny and wickedly observamt
