THIS IS a book that fits into no obvious category, although you might say that it belongs to the Year-in-Provence movement in English autobiography: it's meditative and loosely structured, one of its subjects is nature (another is food, another is death), and it is the sixth volume of memoirs by a writer whose work is continually praised for its 'readability', as though this were not the first and simplest requirement of any book.

Forced into returning to London because of his manager and partner's fast deteriorating health, Bogarde has to re-adapt to life in the West London neighbourhoods that groomed him as an aspiring young actor. But with his fame fading and his own life descending into old age, the entire process becomes rather difficult to endure. He stalks the streets like an 'apologetic turtle' and avoids society, announcing with his effortless wit that he shall, from then on, only do 'matinees' becausehe is too tired to go out in the evenings. Although this memoir finds Bogarde at his most vulnerable he retains the lucidity and charm that makes his writing so enjoyable. As ever, he expresses a deep sentimentality that ensures no detail goes unnoticed or unfelt. First published in 1993, this is one of Dirk Bogarde's latter memoirs.
