Thought not intended as an autobiography, this absorbing account of a writer's professional self is so personal, candid and far-ranging that the reader ends with the delightful feeling that he knows Mr. Priestley very well. Author of The Good Companions and many other novels, essayist, dramatist and broadcaster, Mr Priestley is one of the major literary figures of our time. He began his working life as a very junior clerk in a Bradford wool firm, but even then he was seeking a foothold on the ladder which led him to fame and success.
Written without false modesty or false pride, and above all with rare honesty, Margin Released is an absorbing story in which memory and free comment maintain a delightful and unflagging counterpoint. It is one of Mr Priestley's most important books.
