In an age of curated self-belief, his vulnerabilities feel refreshing, his reticence almost radical' The Times
20 September. Have a notion for a radio series - Awkward Conversations.
Enough Said is Alan Bennett's fourth collection of diaries and prose. Covering the turbulent years 2016 to 2024, the diaries take us through lockdown, Brexit, the reign of Johnson, the rise of Trump and the death of the Queen. In between, we take the train with him back and forth to Yorkshire, celebrate the herons, the newts and the street fairs, and lament the scarcity of curlews, the closure of the last local bank and the deteriorating welfare state. There is the premiere of Allelujah!, the revived Talking Heads, the publication of two Sunday Times bestsellers and the filming of The Choral.
2024 is the year that Alan turns ninety; he reflects on old age and the importance of luck. He looks back to childhood and recalls an idyllic wartime month as an evacuee. A book for the bedside, this is poignant, funny, contemplative Alan Bennett, as he records life both personal and political in his most distinct of voices.

Escrito por Alan Bennett
Alan Bennett es autor de muchas obras teatrales como Habeas Corpus, Forty One Years On, Kafka’s Dick o The Madness of George III (adaptada después al cine), guiones cinematográficos como Prick Up Your Ears (basado en la vida de Joe Orton), y piezas televisivas como Talking Heads y An Englishman Abroad, que lo han convertido en uno de los autores británicos más queridos, o la selección de sus diarios Writing Home. Asimismo es muy apreciado como actor. En 2003 recibió el British Book Award por la obra de una vida y fue calificado como «nuestro Tesoro Nacional», aunque naturalmente Bennett detesta esta frase.
