Rather self-indulgent, which I suppose is a risk for an autobiography, particularly a lengthy section about his dreams. The account of his childhood in Orkney was fascinating, however, and of his time in Prague during the communist coup. The rest was very dull. I didn't come away with a liking for the man.

From his sheltered childhood in Orkney to the turmoil of industrial Glasgow, Edwin Muir was witness to some of the most traumatic years and events of our modern age. And yet, in his life and in his art, he was constantly haunted by the symbolic 'fable' which he longed to find beneath the surface reality of the everyday. From his dream notebooks to his travels in Eastern Europe, Muir paints an unforgettable picture of the slow and sometimes painful growth of a poet's sensibility as he comes to terms with his own nature amidst the terror and confusion of the twentieth century.
