Journalist, Clive James
Born 7 Oct 1939, Clive James was an Australian critic, journalist, broadcaster, writer and lyricist who lived and worked in the UK from 1962 until his death in 2019. He become TV critic for The Observer in 1972, where he made his name for his wry, deadpan humour. A genius, I loved him. #CliveJames

"Black-and-white portrait of Clive James, an older man with light hair and a thoughtful expression, wearing a collared shirt, looking slightly past the camera."
"There is no reasoning someone out of a position he has not reasoned himself into."

In his post as Head of Arts, Alan Yentob had searched high and low and found that only Alan Yentob could handle the task. Having hired himself at a suitable salary, he did some excellent programmes — the one about the Soane Museum was especially fine — but I often wondered, while watching him in action, if he ever thought back to the days when his decisions had made life difficult for those of us who were doing the same thing.
The late #CliveJames is responsible for this particularly fine quote about #AlanYentob - taken from The Blaze of Obscurity, circa 2009 (I think)… #BBC #Yentob

One pleasant surprise of being on Mastodon is my reading of and interaction with Australians here.
As a consequence, I've started to think more about Australia, what it does and does not have in common with the UK and other English speaking countries with a settler […]

WH Auden once said that all real poets start off by being fascinated by the sound of words, but later on they have to grow out of that and start to care about the sense. Clive James: 'Poets in the Free Cou... Clive James
I think this is somewhat true of me!

‘Unreliable Memoirs’ by Clive James (1980). Been meaning to read some Clive James for a while. I must have just missed out on seeing his work on TV but I’d heard good things. This autobiography covers his childhood growing up in 1940s/50s Sydney as “the kid from Kogarah”… (1/3) #book #clivejames

Agree or not, Clive James was a genius with words & a brilliant critic. He could weave insight & humour together in a way that deserves admiration. We have decent satirists & some decent critics, but we don’t have anyone quite
like #CliveJames. I doubt we ever will, such wordsmithery is a lost art.
