Alan Bennett’s Diary Extract of 2016

23 May. I don’t have much time for Moleskine notebooks and the snobbery of stationery. Quite risky too. Writers who make a fuss about their notebooks are halfway to thinking that their jottings are Literature and headed towards posterity. It’s also ‘the wonderful world of words’ that Hector complains about in The History Boys.

25 May. About the only lie Boris Johnson hasn’t (yet) told is that if we leave the EU the weather will be better.

in the London Review of Books

Boeklog on Keeping On Keeping On, Bennett’s diaries over the years 2006-2015. A recommended read.
