A journalist’s reminiscences/anecdotes about the people he has met and had dealings with.
Hoggart is (or was, I think he may have died recently, as did his father Richard Hoggart of ‘literacy’ fame only last week) a political journalist latterly with the BBC. Apparently, he chaired ‘The News Quiz’ before Sandy Toksvig (?!), although I don’t remember this.
Not the sort of book I enjoy — thought I would see what was in the library, but the answer was ‘very little that appealed’.
