  • Clive James
    Jul 12 2025

    There is much thought about memoirs at the moment. Salt Paths etc.

    Clive James wrote memoirs but he always declared they were 'unreliable'. Maybe that is the nature of memory and memoir?

    Clive James died in 2019 after a long illness.

    This conversation with David Freeman was recorded in 2001 when Clive was excited by the internet and somewhat fearful of the way public service broadcasting was heading.

    He would probably be even more fearful now.

    Listening to Clive James now it is clear that he had a very good grasp on what could happen in many spheres of life - and he really didn't approve.
