The definitive account; in his own words; of one of the most popular figures in British theatre.The second and concluding volume of Noeuml;l Cowards legendary autobiography includes Future Indefinite and the unfinished Past Unconditional. With his trademark wit; Coward delivers anecdotes about his travels in South America; Hollywood encounters with an array of contemporary stars and directors; and his later theatrical successes; including the Broadway triumph of Design For Living. The showbiz glamour aside; we also encounter a middle-aged man coming to terms with a world in disarray; his confused feelings towards the war and his own part in it exposing a more serious and thoughtful side to a performer and raconteur more usually associated with frivolity. Future Indefinite sees Coward transformed from a brazen odious little prodigy into one of the most exuberant characters in British theatrical history."His writing is superb; his precise languid drawl put down on the page" Daily Express

Buy it.By Felix BraendelHave just received this; but like the Norton selection of Canterbury Tales that precedes it; it glosses difficult words of Chaucers English directly opposite each line. Todays reader can thereby read this fine poem as a poem (if slowly); without the miserable distraction of looking up words in a glossary. As in other Norton critical editions; theres a sound introduction; selection of better critical essays; and helpful bibliography. BUY THIS BOOK! If enough of you do; Norton might be inspired to put out similar editions of Gawain and the Green Knight; Pearl; and even (dream on!); The Owl and the Nightingale.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
