Abstract
"Even As We Speak" is Clive James’s sixth collection of essays, and covers the
broad range of cultural, historical and literary criticism we have come to expect.
Reading James’s essays is rather like conversing with an old friend. Often what
he says is riveting and eloquent, at other times it’s a bit tedious or facetious, and
sometimes you wish he’d stop carrying on about a particular obsession you
don’t share. But overall, it’s worth while spending time with him, and
interesting to hear his views on almost anything.
