Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memories
HE title of this book itself implies that there is here no Autobiography: no long, consecutive record of events that are one's own; but a selection of memories. They are more of people than of things. People especially people of many sorts - are what is most interesting in the world: except the pursuit of an art. And it is sketches of people, in different spheres of work and of pleasure, that I have essayed to make. Nothing else.
References to the living are incidental and occasional. On the four walls of my little gallery, space has been found mainly for sketches of the dead: dead friends very often men and women whose work is done, their careers ended; whom I knew ten, twenty, thirty - yes, some of them even forty years ago.
