Product Description

Product Description

"Untold Stories", Alan Bennett's first major collection of prose since his bestselling "Writing Home", brings together the finest and funniest of his writing over the last ten years. Two recordings feature selected material from "Untold Stories": Part 1: Stories contains the title piece, and Part 2: The Diaries (also available from BBC Audio) covers Alan Bennett's much-celebrated diaries for 1997--2004. Part 1: Stories "Untold Stories" is a poignant family memoir recalling the marriage of Alan's parents, the lives and deaths of his aunts and the uncovering of a long-held family secret. At times heartrending, and at others extremely funny, "Untold Stories" is a matchless and unforgettable journey into Alan Bennett's past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, 2 Feb 2006
By S. Barresi (Sicily, Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book with a gift certificate. I am not from England so much of the geography and names go right over me. However, there is a style of writing here that attracts me to every page. It is almost as if I have known A Bennett or he has known me all my/his life. I am sharing his thoughts and deeds throught these years. Mr Bennett is very understated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Listen with Alan, 15 Dec 2005
Listening to Alan Bennett reading his work adds an extra dimension - it's rather like an old friend confiding his private and personal memories. I'm not a fan of audiobooks but this one's an exception and worth replaying.

5.0 out of 5 stars our resident geinus, 17 Nov 2006
By M. D. Hewitt "maeyc" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although the material and take on life are completely different Alan Bennett shares with William S Burroughs a voice that just sucks you into the narrative and makes impossible thereafter to read without hearing the voice in your head. I seldom buy spoken word recordings but sometimes it is a must. Having read (or not ) the books I can close my eyes and be transported in the same way that music works, which is saying something from my perspective.

I haven't actaually heard this yet but I do have 3 others by him and I know in advance that it cannot be recommend too highly.

The mundaity of it all speaks to and for all of us and above everything else it is the honesty and truth that humbles us. Alan knows that the smallest things have the biggest impact.

A definite hit with me.
