Product Description
Review
"pure magic... An epistolary classic." --Robert Gwyn Palmer, THE RESIDENT
"illuminating" --THE LIST (SCOTLAND)
Review
"his letters seem special and intimate, almost like a private language. Writing, like acting, works by illusion. But the pleasure they give is not illusory, and on that score Ever, Dirk is a cornucopia." (JOHN CAREY THE SUNDAY TIMES )
"Bogarde's gifted biographer the delight of this book is Coldstream's deft and intelligent editing the perfect book to while away a summer afternoon." (PHILIP HOARE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )
"reveals both his waspish gossipy side as well as his tender one" (KIRSTY LAING FRONT ROW, BBC RADIO 4 )
"The Whip is enjoying the new book of letters from the late actor Dirk Bogarde... waspish." (THE SUN )
"fascinating... meticulously edited..." (BRYAN FORBES THE SPECTATOR )
"notable for their poetic charm, cantankerous, bitchy honesty and their author's total inability to spell or use conventional syntax." (TIME OUT )
"enormous and inexhaustibly fascinating... The book's other hero is John Coldstream... so pleasurable." (DAILY EXPRESS )
'What an egregious conundrum Dirk Bogarde was. This collection remarkably reveals a fascinating, original and in some ways haunted man in shockingly unmediated form', (SIMON CALLLOW THE GUARDIAN )
"at his best... his letters are engaging and informative... Bogarde has been beautifully served by Coldstream." (LYNN BARBER THE DAILY TELEGRAPH )
"a funny, petulant and wildly entertaining selection." ("YOU MUST REALLY READ" COLUMN SUNDAY TIMES )
"John Coldstream, the editor of Ever, Dirk, sees the book as completing a "quartet" in different media, made up of an Arena documentary first broadcast in 2001, Coldstream's authorised biography and an archival website." (ADAM MARS-JONES THE OBSERVER )
"filled with zest for life" (CHRISTOPHER FOWLER INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY )
"the letters of a lucky man... This is all very endearing - or as he would put it, indearing." (PETER LEWIS THE DAILY MAIL )
"The letters of Sir Dirk Bogarde - acerbic, witty, mournful, misspelled - arrive in a volume big enough to stop a bullet or stun a rhinoceros...Readers of EVER DIRK can expect to laugh, sigh, and from time to time, recoil in outrage." (THE IRISH TIMES )
"Might it be premature to state this will be my Book Of the Year?" (Roger Lewis MAIL ON SUNDAY )
"The editing is exemplary, with just enough well-placed notes and linking paragraphs to guide us smoothly through this parabola of Bogarde's later life... magnificently produced." (THE STAGE )
"meticulously edited by the faithful Coldstream" (SUNDAY HERALD )
"pure magic... An epistolary classic." (Robert Gwyn Palmer THE RESIDENT )
"illuminating" (THE LIST (SCOTLAND) )
