Picking up where ‘Keeping On Keeping On’ left off, this is Alan Bennett’s fourth collection of diaries and prose. Spanning 2016 to 2024, the year he turned 90, these entries reflect on Brexit, lockdown, the premiership of Johnson, the rise of Trump, and the death of the Queen. Amid these events, Bennett recounts holidays, revisits favourite spots across England, and wanders through churches, antique shops, and the National Gallery, while also lamenting the decline of curlews, the closure of local banks, and the erosion of the welfare state. Recording both the personal and political in his own distinctive voice, this is a poignant and funny book for the bedside.
