Content: "For over fifteen years the film star Dirk Bogarde has been living in an old farm house in Provence. Covering this period in his life, An Orderly Man - the third outstanding volume of his autobiography - is written with the same dazzling wit, the same sharp eye for detail and the same gift for encapsulating character that distinguish the previous two." (from the cover) Background / Biography: Sir Dirk Bogarde (28 March 1921 – 8 May 1999) was a British actor and novelist, best known for his role as Aschenbach in Death in Venice. Continued on Wikipedia Reviews: "His dialogue is crisp, his narrative taut and lively. Whether he is describing his renovation of a derelict shepherd's house, his deep and loving relationship with his parents . . . or tracing with insight his semi-disillusionment with films" Sunday Telegraph "Accurate portraits of Visconti, Resnais, Fassbinder and Liliana Cavani . . . an honest view of Bogarde's philosophy . . . elegance and economy" The Guardian (from the cover) Arbery Books also sells secondhand and rare non-gay fiction and non-fiction.

"I am an orderly man. I say this with no sense of false modesty, or of conceit. It is a simple statement of fact. That's all. Being orderly, as a matter of fact, can be excessively tiresome and it often irritates me greatly, but I cannot pull away. I sometimes think that I would far prefer to live slumped in some attic amidst a litter or junk, dirty underclothing, greasy pots and pans, paints and canvases strewn about everywhere, an on-the-point-of-being discarded mistress weeping dejectedly on the stairs, fungus on the walls, and an enormous overdraft at the bank or, better still, absolutely no money at all. Unvarnished, music-less, Puccini." opening paragraph Secondhand booksellers |
