In 2010,
Clive James was diagnosed with terminal leukemia. Deciding that "if you
don't know the exact moment when the lights will go out, you might as well read
until they do," James moved his library to his house in Cambridge, where he would "live, read,
and perhaps even write." James is the award-winning author of dozens of
works of literary criticism, poetry, and history, and this volume contains his
reflections on what may well be his last reading list. A look at some of
James's old favourites as well as some of his recent discoveries, this book
also offers a revealing look at the author himself, sharing his evocative
musings on literature and family, and on living and dying.
Opportunities to interview
Clive are limited however an interview with ABC journalist Phil Williams has
definitely been confirmed. ABC is recording

interview.
