Edited by his children, this is an anthology of writing from the late, lamented Alan Coren who died in October 2007. It covers his prolific 40-year career, drawing together the best of his published work with new autobiographical material. Individual pieces are introduced by some of his high profile friends, including Victoria Wood, Stephen Fry, Clive James and Melvyn Bragg. It is published to mark the first anniversary of his death, and there will be a Radio 4 documentary and event at the Royal Festival Hall.
