He writes as well as he acts, with insight, truth and passion. Another Stewart Triumph! -- Sir Ian McKellenThere is so much to say about Sir Patrick. He is an amazing actor, great to look at, really funny and up for anything. He is a kind man… compassionate and sensitive…. but, as you will find when you read the book, his greatest asset as a human being is the fact that he is so completely and unapologetically himself -- Whoopi GoldbergI read this book in a state of wonder, not just for the authors gifts as a nuanced storyteller and sharp observer, but for those other remarkable gifts, of intelligence, sensitivity, wit, intuition, self-awareness and élan that were bestowed on him when he came into the world – all of which he has freely shared with us so long and so beautifully; and finished reading in a state of deep gratitude for the gifts, and the gift, of Patrick Stewart -- Michael ChabonWhat a glorious memoir Sir Patrick Stewart has written. His prose is elegant and beautiful, diamond-like in its clarity and precision, and his recollections of his life are full of tenderness, insight, candour and pathos. If he hadnt been so busy all these years being a great actor, delighting us all, he could have been a great writer, and now with this book, he is one -- Jonathan Ames Details ISBN1398512974 Author Patrick Stewart Pages 480 Publisher Simon & Schuster Ltd Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781398512979 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-06-06 Imprint Simon & Schuster Ltd Subtitle A Memoir Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Alternative 9781398512948 DEWEY 792.028092 Illustrations 1x 16pp colour plates Audience General UK Release Date 2024-06-06 ISBN-10 1398512974 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
