The publication of my new book of interviews “Rennie & River” has stimulated some new interest in my previous publication, my memoir “Roger And (Not) Out”. A Facebook contact – whom I’ve never met – has posted a review of the memoir to Amazon as follows:
‘Having grown up in the 1950s and 1960s, I found much to recognise and relate to in the early chapters of this very readable memoir. Just a few examples are a street party for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth, having tonsils removed, free school milk, sitting the Eleven Plus, Saturday cinema club, Beatlemania, the Anti-Apartheid Movement and much more besides!
The attitudes, values, feelings and aspirations acquired by the author during these formative years are then played out in an interesting, well lived and very full life, the telling of which is elevated by the ability to structure a wealth of detail into an accessible and readable narrative. This is also an account of personal development and there are thoughtful and respectful reflections regarding relationships and emotional upheavals that have been generously and openly shared. I recommend this memoir to the general reader.’
