| Abstract | Bringing together the hilarious, revealing, and lucidly intelligent writing of one of England's best-known literary figures, Keeping on keeping on contains Alan Bennett's diaries from 2005 to 2015--with everything from his much celebrated essays to his irreverent comic pieces and reviews--reflecting on a decade that saw four major theater premieres and the films of The history boys and The lady in the van. A chronicle of one of the most important literary careers of the twentieth century, Keeping on keeping on is a classic history of a life in letters. |
