'One of the all-time great memoirs' Daily Telegraph'Wonderful...candid shrewd and moving' William Boyd'Laugh-out-loud glorious and uproarious' Simon Schama Howard Jacobson's funny revealing and tender memoir of his path to becoming a writer. Howard Jacobson was forty when his first novel was published. In Mother's Boy he traces the life that brought him there. Born into a working-class Jewish family in 1940s Manchester he did not lack encouragement or subject matter. Jacobson takes us from childhood and studying at Cambridge through landing in Sydney as a maverick young professor and on to his first marriage and the birth of his son. Later he begins new - and often surprising - ventures in places as disparate as London Wolverhampton Boscastle and Melbourne. Infused with bittersweet memories of Jacobson's parents and friends this is the story of a writer's beginnings and of learning to understand who you are before you can become the writer you were meant to be. 'Hilariously brilliant' David Baddiel 'Howard Jacobson brilliantly transforms calamity into rip-roaring comedy' Craig Brown Mail on Sunday
