Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Rory Knight Bruce is known primarily as a journalist for national newspapers and magazines. But in this searing personal memoir he recounts an early life of parental abandonment; his father a war-damaged Devon huntsman; his mother an aristocratic Irish ' bolter' whom he first saw on television hosting a daytime quiz show. There follows his escape from the family's Devon farm ? to which he was to return aged forty. After university he joined the staff of The Spectator and London Evening Standard. As editor of the Standard's Londoner's Diary, Dame Barbara Cartland called him: " The most dangerous man in London." Many of his ' spats', with Jeffery Archer, Sir Robin Day and Martin Amis, are recounted in this highly personal journey. John Osborne called him " A worm, like me, alone and against himself." Martin Amis, in The Information, cast him as Rory Plantagenet, " The compromised and epicene diarist on a London evening paper." He was the inspiration for the Hugh Grant figure in Notting Hill. The travel writer Barnaby Rogerson described him as: " One of the most persuasive and discreet womanisers of his generation. Depending on your point of view he was either a zeitgeist or maverick." Rory Knight Bruce's memoirs of life in Fleet Street and the hunting field -"A masterpiece" (AN Wilson).
