«Good Companions» is John Bayley's personal anthology, published by Little, Brown Book Group in paperback (288 pages, in English).
John Bayley brings together extracts from novels, poems, letters and diaries that have accompanied him throughout his life as a reader. Unlike conventional anthologies, the selection is intimate and brimming with wit: it revisits childhood and youthful reading, explains how books lift the spirits, and adds surprising anecdotes and poems.
Published in 2002, the edition includes an index of the collected texts. John Bayley was a fellow of St Catherine's College, Oxford.
For readers who enjoy intimate literary selections and see books as companionship.
