Wit and entertainment guaranteed in Clive James first ever visit to the book festival. Famed as a TV presenter and cultural critic, Clive James is a prolific and wide-ranging commentator on everything from the Sydney Olympic Games to more serious historical and literary topics. His incisive humour and razor-sharp intelligence are demonstrated in a new collection of essays, Even As We Speak and in this early evening encounter. As the New Yorker says, 'Clive James is a brilliant bunch of guys.'
