Bamboo
William Boyd's first collection of non-fiction is a substantial colume of writings from the last three decades that range widely over his particular interests and obsessions. Bamboo gathers Boyd's writing on literature, art, the movie business, television, people he has met, places he has visited and reflections on his African childhood. This collection proves a fascinating and surprisingly revealing companion to the work of one of our leading novelists.
