4.9/5 (24346 ratings)

Description:For decades, Colin Welch occupied cult status among his fellow writers, critics and journalists, many of whom he had helped along their chosen paths. He was a bundle of paradoxes: a conservative bohemian, an intellectual who believed in common sense, a brilliant satirist and mimic who reverd the bourgeoisie, a daily newspaper journalist who wrote in a highly idiosyncratic style, an unabashed Englishman whose mind was steeped in the ideas of the Continent, one of the most gifted writers of his generation, yet a man who never wrote a book.Sometimes sad, often hilarious, always provocative, thoughtful and original, The Odd Thing About the Colonel is the first collection of Colin Welch's writing. It spans a dazzling array of subjects, from The Magic Flute to the Beatles, from Tintin to Tony Benn, from the Indian Mutiny to the Oz trials, from Little Noddy to Lady Chatterley, and from memories of Normandy to an eyewitness account of the trial of Adolf Eichmann. No one reading this collection could be left in any doubt why he has been described as 'brilliant' by the Guardian, 'full of wit, erudition and originality' by the Independent and 'the wittiest journalist of his generation' by the Daily Mail.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
