Dining Out With Mr Lunch is a selection of more than 30 perceptive essays about writers such as Tim Winton, Richard Flanagan, Oliver Sacks, Roald Dahl, Fay Weldon, Brian Keenan and P.D. James. It is a lively exploration of people and their creative lives rather than a text of literary criticism. "This is a book for readers as much as for writers," says Waldren. Here is vanity, vulnerability, ambition, ego, regret, self-deprecation, hope, humour and sadness, all exposed with a deft hand, a warm heart and a deadly eye.

A Sleeper with Style
5. April 2000

Format:Taschenbuch
My older sister turned me onto this book - and she was right, as older sisters often are. It is a real gem. She discovered it when she was Downunder on holiday last month and brought it back with her. The author is an Australian journalist who writes insightful and human stories. Half the book features Australian writers, half features American, English and Canadian authors. Each chapter takes a different approach and you end it wanting more. I liked the humor, I liked the sharp observations, I liked the way he made me feel as if I had met the subjects. I just wish American journalists wrote like this - read it, you will enjoy the experience.

Mr Lunch dishes up a literary feast
22. Februar 2000
Von Craig Deerborn
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
It's fascinating when writers are put in the spotlight - some flourish and some flounder. This collection became compulsive bedside reading for me - it's not heavy on literary theory but it sure revealed the people behind the author's cloak in a personal, perceptive and frequently funny way. I really got the feeling that I was meeting the people interviewed - warts and all. Yet it was done so as to leave dignity intact. Vanities, secrets and courage were all revealed. It made me want to rush out and buy many of the subjects' books. I guess the best comment is that I was sorry to finish. I also liked the way the authors were such an international range - and I recommend the chapters on Antonella Gambotto, Kinky Friedman, Morris West and Brian Keenan in particular. More please.
