«One on One» is the humour and non-fiction book by Craig Brown, published by Fourth Estate in paperback (400 pages, in English).
The book strings together 101 real encounters between famous figures, juxtaposing the celebrated and the infamous, the grand and the ridiculous. From Tolstoy scolding Tchaikovsky in 1876 to George Galloway provoking Michael Barrymore in 2006, each quote, snub or conversation becomes a satirical vignette on fame and the human condition.
Published in 2012, the book was longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction. Craig Brown is also the author of 'One Two Three Four: The Beatles in Time' and 'Ma'am Darling'.
For fans of British humour, biography and social history seeking brief anecdotes about famous figures.
