This revised and updated edition includes new material from the author, including more recent diaries and his introduction to his Oscar-nominated screenplay for The Madness of King George. A chronicle of one of the most important literary careers of the twentieth century, Writing Home is a classic history of a life in letters.

A hilarious (aN? hilarious) read. Not many writers have me laughing outloud on a daily basis and I've been reading this with my morning coffee for several weeks now. It would be "marvellous" to be able to meet Mr. Bennett at some point. As a great lover of "Beyond the Fringe" many years ago and since then of "Talking Heads" I find his imagination and droll humor almost without peer.
