Julian Maclaren-Ross was one of the most colourful inhabitants and chroniclers of the Soho and Fitzrovia of the forties, fifties and sixties. He knew and wrote about its most memorable characters including Dylan Thomas, Graham Greene, Cyril Connolly, Tambimuttu, Nina Hamnett and Woodrow Wyatt. He was something of a dandy and a gifted raconteur, and his life, often chaotic, and related unsentimentally by him in these memoirs, veered between the fringes of the literary establishment and occasional homelessness.

I bought this for a friend after hearing a biopic of Julian McLaren Ross on Radio 4. I haven't heard yet how enjoyable the book was but my friend was very enthusiastic about the book and looking forward to reading it.

Maclaren-Ross: Underappreciated, Soho Dandy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 December 2004

Julian Maclaren-Ross was one of Soho and Fitzrovia's most gifted and overlooked writers. This is more than apparent in his Collected Memoirs, which offer all of his autobiographical works including several which have never appeared in book form. Paul Willetts, Maclaren-Ross's biographer, writes the introduction to Collected Memoirs, providing a well-rounded overview of the writer and the world he inhabited. The book also includes an index of names, places and events mentioned in his stories. Collected Memoirs is a wonderful composition of work from one of London's most talented and engaging writers. Maclaren-Ross's memoirs are as touching and nostalgic as they are dry and satirical and his relaxed, conversational style makes his work accessible to anyone.

What a find!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 June 2006

Wonderful account of an interesting era and an interesting man. I can't believe this book isn't better known - it's an absolute classic. Highlights include tales of trying to sell vacuum cleaners door to door in a time of depression. Such joy to find an autobiographer who sees the comedy in misfortune and relishes in painting himself as an antihero. I salute him.
