A quick enjoyable read. The last 5th a bit out of place while in hospital but it wraps up - sort of. ( )

This was Shaw’s last finished book and gets bagged a lot by critics who regret how different he is here from his early work. I want to be more generous than that. It’s intensely personal, derived from the author’s life. That’s how it feels and, subsequently reading a little about the end of his life, that’s how it was. Not being a fan of sitting through blow-by-blows of other people’s dreams, it was pleasing that the parts of the book where he is drifting in and out of life – an operation was botched and bitterly retold – are real. It reminded me of my father’s emergence with some brain damage from a coma. He talked of the most surreal things as if they could be touched. There was no difference in his brain between them and those around him. Shaw does a good job of conveying that close to death dream state.

Even more boring the Young Lions. Did not manager to read even 1/3.
The most dull and discouraging book of the great Irwin. ( )
