Graham documents his life story in semi-chronological order, but with his own witty observations, side anecdotes, and wonderful writing style. Not only does he share about his family members, he documents his entry into the world of television and film-making, famous actors, directors, writers, etc etc. Through it all he also -most satisfying!- he shares the development of some of his works, and the real life people from whom he drew to create his memorable characters in his novels. He even includes some very insightful commentary about the art of the novel and the craft of writing - I will want to dip back into this book again, just to re-read these bits. It covers his beginnings (including the Victorian era of his young parents) all the way to his last year of life - a thorough autobiography. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Winston Graham's memoirs have been consigned to his safe for years. Here, at last, they are shared with his readers in a remarkable book, free of what he called 'the fashionable sins', but rich in charm and anecdote. Memoirs of a Private Man follows the rise of a delicate Manchester lad from the isolation of Cornwall to fame and the glittering London film scene. Its pages are peopled by luminaries, among them Alfred Hitchcock, who turned Graham's best-selling novel, Marnie , into a classic film, Gregory Peck, and Somerset Maugham. Author of the bestselling Poldark series, Graham's is a life of success, often excess, yet he never loses sight of its foundations: his love of his wife Jean, companion of fifty years, and his love of words. His memoirs offer an insight into the unassuming side of the writer whose bestselling novels and their television adaptations have won over the hearts of millions.
