Anotace knihy

"Still Life: Sketches from a Tunbridge Wells Childhood" (the sub-title is important) was first published in 1984. It won the J.R. Ackerley Prize for Literary Biography in that year. It is a classic among middle-class memoirs. In twenty-one short chapters the town is vividly anatomized. And so are its residents: meet Dr Ranking and, best of all, meet the Limbury-Buses living a life of contented ossification. 'Cobb remembers, and that, as well as his redeeming freedom from all conventional standards of dignity and relevance, is what makes this offbeat, capricious book a rare treasure' - John Carey, "Sunday Times". 'A remarkable feat of making purest autobiography part of a general, social history...Cobb has broken one of the strangest silences in English social commentary; on the missing history of the English bourgeoisie' - Michael Neve, "Times Literary Supplement".
