Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. _______________'The autobiography comes full circle - appropriately enough, because this is a book in which people come to terms with the past, make peace with inner demons, learn to say goodbye to loved ones and become sensitive, caring human beings' - The Independent_______________First published in 1993, A Short Walk from Harrods is volume six of Dirk Bogardes best-selling memoirs.Forced into returning to London because of his manager and his partners rapidly deteriorating health, Bogarde must re-adapt to life in the West London neighbourhoods that groomed him as an aspiring young actor. But with his fame fading and his descent into old age, the entire process becomes rather difficult to endure. He stalks the streets like an apologetic turtle and avoids society, announcing with his effortless wit that he shall, from then on, only do matinees because he is too tired to go out in the evenings.Although this memoir finds Bogarde at his most vulnerable, he retains the lucidity and charm that makes his writing so enjoyable. As ever, he expresses a deep sentimentality that ensures no detail goes unnoticed or unfelt. The latest volume of Dirk Bogarde's autobiography. 'I learned very early on in my life that nothing was for ever; so I should have been aware of disillusion in early middle age: but, somehow, we try to obliterate early warnings and go cantering along hopefully, idiotically'.
