Somewhere Becoming Rain: Collected Writings on Philip Larkin by Clive James (Eng

Description: Somewhere Becoming Rain by Clive James Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Renowned critic, bestselling author and award-winning poet Clive James offers an exploration and celebration of one of his favourite writers, Philip Larkin. Publisher Description Clive James is a life-long admirer of the work of Philip Larkin. Somewhere Becoming Rain gathers all of Jamess writing on this towering literary figure of the twentieth century, together with extra material now published for the first time.The greatness of Larkins poetry continues to be obscured by the opprobrium attaching to his personal life and his private opinions. James writes about Larkins poems, his novels, his jazz and literary criticism; he also considers the two major biographies, Larkins letters and even his portrayal on stage in order to chart the extreme and, he argues, largely misguided equivocations about Larkins reputation in the years since his death.Through this joyous and perceptive book, Larkins genius is delineated and celebrated. James argues that Larkins poems, adored by discriminating readers for over half a century, could only have been the product of his reticent, diffident, flawed, and all-too-human personality.Erudite and entertaining in equal measure, Somewhere Becoming Rain is a love letter from one of the worlds best living writers to one of its most cherished poets. Author Biography Clive James is the multi-million-copy bestselling author of more than forty books. His poetry collection Sentenced to Life and his translation of Dantes The Divine Comedy were both Sunday Times top ten bestsellers, and his collections of verse have been shortlisted for many prizes. In 2012 he was appointed CBE and in 2013 an Officer of the Order of Australia.
