Rebecca's Vest: A Memoir

3/5 ( ratings)

'Miller was in his mother’s womb when she left his father in London, bringing to an end a brief marriage. Rebecca’s Vest treats subsequent beginnings and phases of his life: orphan-like upbringing by female relatives in the heart of Midlothian; national service; Cambridge and the start of his career in London, which was to culminate in his founding editorship of the London Review of Books ... Karl Miller is as generously sensitive to the gifts and style of others as he is savagely precise about his own shortcomings.' Mick Imlah
