Publisher's Summary:
When he turned 65, the playwright Simon Gray began to keep a diary: not a careful honing of the days's events with a view to posterity but an account of his thoughts as he had them, honestly, turbulently, digressively expressed. 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; a record of shame, adultery, friendship, and love.
Few diarists have ever been so frank about themselves, and even fewer so entertaining.

Critic Reviews:
"The funniest book I've read all year." (Julian Barnes)
