Non-Fiction Biography
When he turned sixty-five, the acclaimed playwright Simon
Gray began to keep this diary: not a careful honing of the
day's events with a view to posterity but an account of his
thoughts as he had them, honestly, turbulently, digressively
expressed. The Smoking Diaries is the result, in
which 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.
