Another Gem. This Is Ideal For A Sunday Afternoon
Another gem. This is ideal for a Sunday afternoon with a pot of tea. Clark is such a wag with a wicked sense of humour, even as he nears the end of his life, with his health, personal, political and financial life in a mess. All kinds of gossip about government figures, including Alistair Campbell as he strolls from one disaster and liason to another, all the time trying to keep his dignity intact. Quite nice to have his personality hammed up by an actor.
The reviewer omits to mention the peppering of this diary with Alan Clark's "trademark" unreconstructed views on race, priviledge and adultery (this last he does, to be fair, recant in his final months once spurned by a lover he uncharacteristically gallantly fails to name).
I thoroughly enjoyed the listen whilst experiencing a certain degree of schadenfruede. Rake or rat, heavyweight or opportunist, honest or bitter...you decide.
RTMUA - Rather too many unexplained acronyms.
