Even As We Speak

Effervescent, energetic and eclectic. This is one of the late Twentieth Century`s finest minds (and bellies) on show. Even As We Speak is an illuminating and hilarious collection of essays by one o` Picador`s most beloved authors. He focusses on Australian poetry on television today: on the rise and fall of various icons: on the question of the culpability of the ordinary German in the holocaust; and there is a compellingly provocative and much-talked about piece on the death of Diana. James has the largest backlist of any Picador author and his sales have been well over a million.
