'Charmingly provocative' Observer 'A smorgasbord of delights' Irish Times 'Addictive ... a writer living and thinking his way to the frontiers of human society' The Spectator InAutobibliography, Rob Doyle recounts a year spent rereading fifty-two books - from the Dhammapada and Marcus Aurelius to Robert Bolano and Svetlana Alexievich - as well as the memories they trigger and the reverberations they create. It is a record of a year in reading and of a lifetime of books, by one of the most original and exciting writers around. Reader Reviews 'Enlightening, engaging and fun' 'A *superb* gift for any bookish friend or relative with an eye for the human comedy' 'A page-turner ... bright and fresh'
