The Confessed Self In the last of six programmes, Anthony Curtis turns to the art of autobiography. Why should we trust what people write about themselves? How hard is it for a writer to be truthful? Why do philosophers seem to do better in this respect?
He talks to Bernard Crick about George Orwell ,
David Pryce-Jones about Cyril Connolly and to
A. L. Rowse about himself. Readers RONALD BADDILEY and DORIT WELLES Series producer PRUDENCE SMITH
