Book Synopsis The Metropolitan Critic by : Clive James

Download or read book The Metropolitan Critic written by Clive James and published by Picador USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1974 The Metropolitan Critic started a new trend in cultural comment which has since become an orthodoxy. The young Clive James was the first journalist in London to talk about high culture and pop culture in the same all-consuming, sparkling style. Even at that early stage, the learning behind his literary high-wire act was formidable: a portent of the wide-ranging erudition that in subsequent years was to back up his further volumes of critical prose and the television column that made him famous. An extra delight of this edition is a set of newly-written self-critical footnotes which combine with a nostalgic introduction to evoke what literary London was like when the author, low on salary but high on hope, was making his spectacular start.
