Product Description
Synopsis
Green chronicles his early life, providing an incisive portrait of English society and of the man himself. From reminiscences of a childhood spent among the gentry, to searing descriptions of Eton and Oxford, to reflections on his first experiments with prose and sex.
From the Back Cover
In Pack My Bag, the author chronicles his early life in a delightfully wayward and incisive portrait of English society and of the man himself. From reminiscences of a childhood spent among the gentry, to searing descriptions of Eton and Oxford, to reflections on the author's first experiments with prose and with sex, this midlife autobiography shines with the same 'marvelous originality, intuition, sensuality, and finish, that John Updike found so remarkable in Green's novels.

'A remarkable essay in self-assessment.' Richard Church
'Green's works live with ever-brightening intensity ... It's like dancing with Nijinsky or Astaire, who leads you effortlessly on.' Wall Street Journal
