«Clinging to the Wreckage» is the first part of John Mortimer's autobiography, published by Penguin in paperback (272 pages, in English).
John Mortimer evokes with humour his childhood in the Chilterns, where he was an only child of a blind barrister who recited poetry and a devoted mother, and then reviews his experiences in the practice of law. The narrative combines irony and tenderness in portraying his personal and professional formation.
The full title includes the subtitle A Part of Life; this Penguin paperback edition is from 1983.
For those who enjoy autobiographies of British writers and humorous portraits of the practice of law.
Sir John Clifford Mortimer was a British barrister, dramatist, screenwriter and author. He is best known for short stories about a barrister named Horace Rumpole, adapted from episodes of the TV series Rumpole of the Bailey also written by Mortimer.
