Year of the Jouncer by Simon Gray

Year of the Jouncer by Simon Gray

In these, the latest chronicles of triumph and disaster from the celebrated author of "The Smoking Diaries", Gray intertwines scenes from his adult and his childish self to produce a brilliant and moving counterpoint of life's unsteady progress.

* 'Gray's digressions are as brilliant as they are idiosnycraticI hope that Gray is already jotting down his thoughts and insights for a forthcoming volume' Paul Bailey, Sunday Times * 'A trenchant, funny and surprisingly mellow book' Michael Arditti, Daily Mail * 'Gray is always sharp, clever, eminently readable ... laugh-out-loud digressions ... utterly hilarious' Ranjit Bolt, Observer * 'Gray is an absolute genius...the very best thing he has ever done' Daily Express * 'A great achievement, a terrific read, every page crammed with jokes, philosophical observations and miniature portraits of Grays' family and friends' Spectator
