Recenzii
A legend of British letters
Alan Bennett is our greatest living writer
In an age of curated self-belief, his vulnerabilities feel refreshing, his reticence almost radical... we are left with the bracing consolation of a mind that has never stopped doubting, never stopped observing, never stopped quietly, stubbornly climbing the stairs
Alan Bennett has definitively arrived at the status of public institution... against the societal upheaval of this period, Bennett provides a welcome unsentimental deflation of political grandiosity... The eclecticism of this collection ultimately charms
Nostalgia, shame and gossip from Alan Bennett ... A man for all seasons
These warm recollections are welcome and very charming... What remains a pleasure is Bennett's relish of the spoken language, both recalled and current
Homely and scabrous, cosy and sardonic, waspish and humorous ... Don't believe the title: Enough Said will surely not be the last we hear from Alan Bennett
Terrific. He's always been witty. Occasionally he's wise. It's a winning compound
It's time to address the paranormal forcefield around Bennett, which means we always see him as Wry National Treasure Alan Bennett, Britain's cultural equivalent of a much loved elderly spaniel. In reality , however, Bennett is not fluffy and has spent decades telling us this
Its eclectic entries reveal a mind that remains inquiring deep into the brambles of old age. Whether writing about hymns or the comedy of Stewart Lee, the judgments are dependably sharp
So accustomed are we now to Bennett's prose that it takes a mental leap to notice just how good he is, how finely tuned his sentences, the microscopic power of his observation
Hopefully Enough Said isn't the full stop its title implies - but if it is, it's a wonderful way to bow out
