‘Hugely funny . . . ’
               Time Out

‘Though Fallowell is a teasing, irreverent man, none of his subjects is made to look small or odious . . . Less preachy than the Jacobean character-writers, and less aggressive or facile than his best-known contemporary rivals, he shows exemplary intelligence. His puckish, self-effacing yet moody book is like Aubrey’s Brief Lives in twentieth-century accents. The effect is of a rich, energetic frivolity and passionate curiosity about human types.’
    Richard Davenport-Hines, Times Literary Supplement

 

 

‘ . . . the best book of interviews ever.’
                                             Lynn Barber

‘Of contemporary British interviewers I nominate Duncan Fallowell . . . His performances – for that is how they come across – have a coruscating quality and superb sense of mood.’
       Christopher Silvester, editor The Penguin Book of Interviews

‘A glorious mélange of personalities.’
