Book Synopsis

One of our best contemporary writers.' Sunday Telegraph

It's those around you who make you who you are.

Michael Frayn would like to say a brief word about a few of the people who have formed his
own particular world. Some were friends, some were not; some were more than friends.
Some have had a profound effect, some only a passing one. Some he now wonders if he ever
really knew. But each has had a formative effect on his own remarkable life.

Among Others is a patchwork memoir of a lifetime's encounters. Truthful and loving,
sometimes elegiac, sometimes comic, it is a celebration of the endlessly intriguing otherness
of others.

The most philosophical comic writer and the most comic philosophical writer of our
time.' Daily Mail
