Clive James is an Australian relocated mostly to the UK whose work I have long admired. Writer, poet, documentary maker, speaker ... see his own understated website. At the beginning of this year he started presenting A POINT OF VIEW on BBC's Radio 4. You can read some of them here or listen to them here. Why do I like his work when he often sounds like a miserable and sarcastic fellow with a cautionary and typically Oz view of life? I guess it is because for the most part, whenever I listen to Clive or watch something he has done, it simply rings true. It often cuts through the PC nonesense that so occupies people's minds these days. I wish he would do something current on King Robert of Jongwe, aka Robert Gabriel Mugabe.
