MOTHERS BOY - HOWARD JACOBSON TASCHENBUCH

'One of the all-time great memoirs' Daily Telegraph'Wonderful...candid  shrewd and moving'
William Boyd'Laugh-out-loud glorious and uproarious' Simon Schama Howard Jacobson's funny 
revealing and tender memoir of his path to becoming a writer. Howard Jacobson was forty when
his first novel was published. In Mother's Boy  he traces the life that brought him there. Born
into a working-class Jewish family in 1940s Manchester  he did not lack encouragement or
subject matter. Jacobson takes us from childhood and studying at Cambridge  through landing in
Sydney as a maverick young professor  and on to his first marriage and the birth of his son.
Later  he begins new - and often surprising - ventures in places as disparate as London 
Wolverhampton  Boscastle and Melbourne. Infused with bittersweet memories of Jacobson's parents
and friends  this is the story of a writer's beginnings  and of learning to understand who you
are before you can become the writer you were meant to be. 'Hilariously brilliant' David
Baddiel 'Howard Jacobson brilliantly transforms calamity into rip-roaring comedy' Craig Brown
