{"product_id":"kindred-spirits-adrift-in-literary-london","title":"Kindred Spirits: Adrift in Literary London","description":"The humour of self-deprecation is peculiarly English. Few people do it better than Jeremy Lewis. His first two autobiographical volumes - Playing for Time and Kindred Spirits - are being reissued in Faber Finds to coincide happily with his third volume - Grub Street Irregular - being published by HarperCollins. The second volume of Jeremy Lewis's wonderfully entertaining autobiography sees him starting out, with a mixture of diffidence and self-professed incompetence, on a career in publishing. Along the way we see him tucking into cod and chips with Jane and Geoffrey Grigson, drinking tea with Kingsley Amis and retsina with Patrick Leigh-Fermor. When reviewing this book, Christopher Sinclair-Stevenson called it 'The funniest book I have ever read about publishing...this is not merely a hugely entertaining book, but an important one'. That judgment still stands.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53250160001411,"sku":"9780571244287N","price":7.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/files\/4c405c07-d34f-4181-819c-c9b63976d021.jpg?v=1727771280","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/products\/kindred-spirits-adrift-in-literary-london","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
