<p>He certainly has many more strings to his bow, including an acclaimed career as an artist, a literary career with his first novel having been published in 1959 and a wealth of writing on food. He’s also an accomplished playwright and has written and presented documentaries on food history as well as compiling a history of homosexuality and a gay Kama Sutra. </p>

<p>Unsurprisingly, given his long and distinguished career, he’s met a wealth of people and experienced life to the full. His latest memoir reflects this. The book focuses, in part, on his troubled relationship with his father and the psychological scars left by this turbulence. The first part of the book takes us through from his early home life through to his time as a pacifist in the Royal Army Medical Corps, treating venereal disease in soldiers in Hamburg. </p>

<p>The book takes in the sights of Art College in 1950s Brighton, literary London in the 1960s and the cultural heart of the capital. The memoirs are an emotive account of a life lived and experiences gained.</p>
