‘Charmingly provocative’ Observer
‘A smorgasbord of delights’ Irish Times
‘Addictive … a writer living and thinking his way to the frontiers of human society’ The Spectator
InAutobibliography, Rob Doyle recounts a year spent rereading fifty-two books – from the Dhammapada and Marcus Aurelius to Robert Bolaño and Svetlana Alexievich – as well as the memories they trigger and the reverberations they create. It is a record of a year in reading and of a lifetime of books, by one of the most original and exciting writers around.
Reader Reviews
'Enlightening, engaging and fun'
'A *superb* gift for any bookish friend or relative with an eye for the human comedy'
'A page-turner ... bright and fresh'
‘Charmingly provocative’ - Observer
'Addictive self-portrait ... Doyle is sharp and funny as a critic, and morbidly candid about his own life ... we find a writer living and thinking his way to the frontiers of human society, rather than, as in so much contemporary writing, at its cosy core' - Nicholas Harris, The Spectator
‘A smorgasbord of delights’ - Irish Times
‘A captivating journey out of our literary comfort zones’ - Irish Independent
'Doyle’s prose is virtuosic and exuberant ... strangely compelling' - Michael Delgado, inews
'Maddening and beguiling in equal measure ... a brilliant writer ... absolutely essential' - Steven Long, The Crack Magazine
