The Blaze Of Obscurity by Clive James
The TV Years
A wry, self-deprecating memoir of a television career, charting the shift from print critic to on‑screen presenter and documentary maker. It offers sharp, funny behind‑the‑scenes stories from live shows and globe‑trotting travelogues, the creation of ambitious series amid budget squeezes and logistical mishaps, and encounters with producers, celebrities, and oddball colleagues. Along the way, it reflects on the allure and absurdity of fame, the mechanics of broadcasting, and the personal costs and satisfactions of turning cultural curiosity into prime‑time entertainment.
