May Week Was In June: More Unreliable Memoirs - Unreliable Memoirs (Paperback)
Clive James (author)Published: 07/11/2008
Arriving in Cambridge on my first day as an undergraduate, I could see nothing except a cold white October mist. At the age of twenty-four I was a complete failure, with nothing to show for my life except a few poems nobody wanted to publish in book form.'
Falling Towards England - the second volume of Clive James's Unreliable Memoirs - was meant to be the last. Thankfully, that's not the case. In 'Unreliable Memoirs III', May Week Was in June, Clive details his time at Cambridge, including film reviewing, writing poetry, falling in love (often), and marrying (once) during May Week - which was not only in June but also two weeks long . . .
Continue Clive's story with even more of his memoirs: North Face of Soho and The Blaze of Obscurity.

MEDIA REVIEWS
He turns phrases, mixes together cleverness and clownishness, and achieves a fluency and a level of wit that make his pages truly shimmer . . . May Week Was In June is vintage James. * Financial Times *

“A brilliant read”
The second part of Clive James's autobiography - a wonderful read. I immediately went out and purchased the next part of the trilogy and am enjoying that now.
