From the Publisher:

During the 1970s and early 1980s, Peter Ackroyd wrote book reviews and articles on literature, film, and cultural issues for London’s SPECTATOR. Since 1986, he has been the chief book reviewer for THE TIMES, appraising some of the most important biographies and novels published in the last 15 years. The Collection brings together some of the best of these incisive and entertaining pieces, along with a number of provocative lectures and essays and three of Ackroyd’s short stories, one of which was his first published work of fiction. A superb companion to the author’s distinguished novels and biographies.
