Isn't it? That's one of the ones I've actually started reading. His writing about his parents, in particular, I found very moving.

Have you read Writing Home? I can't recall if you have or not. Definitely worth reading, if you haven't already.

I was particularly moved by his account of his treatments for bowel cancer -- it's personal and moving without making you feel like a voyeur as you're reading it. That takes particular skill, I think.

No, I haven't read that - I shall have to put it on my list for when I finish this one.
