'Irreverent and funny, clever without being cynical and not afraid to flex his wits on anything and everything' тАУ Daily Telegraph
Clive James (1939тАУ2019) was a broadcaster, critic, poet, memoirist and novelist. His much-loved, influential and hilarious television criticism is available both in individual volumes and collected in Clive James On Television. His encyclopaedic study of culture and politics in the twentieth century, Cultural Amnesia, remains perhaps the definitive embodiment of his wide-ranging talents as a critic.

'The perfect critic' тАУ A.O. Scott, New York Times
'There can't be many writers of my generation who haven't been heavily influenced by Clive James' тАУ Charlie Brooker
