Ackerley: The Life of J.R. Ackerley

3.9/5 ( ratings)

“Peter Parker’s biography is as frank and often almost as witty as Ackerley’s own books . . . But Ackerley is more than a candid account of one man’s public and private life; it is also a candid view of London in mid-century, full of entertaining anecdotes about literary figures. If Ackerley had chosen a biographer himself he could hardly have done better." —Alison Lurie, The New York Times Book Review
