Description
In the three volumes of The Smoking Diaries, one of Britain's most amusing and original writers reflects on a life filled with cigarettes (continuing), alcohol (stopped), several triumphs and many more disasters, shame, adultery, friendship, and love. Few diarists have been as frank about themselves, and even fewer as entertaining.
This beautiful boxed set contains paperbacks of The Smoking Diaries - Volume 1, The Smoking Diaries - Volume II: The Year of the Jouncer, and The Smoking Diaries - Volume III: The Last Cigarette.
With their combination of comedy and serious reflection, of sharp observation and painful self-disclosure, Simon Gray's diaries have reinvented the memoir form and are destined to become classics of autobiography.
