Enough Said
£25.00
notes
Picking up where ‘Keeping On Keeping On’ left off, this is Alan Bennett’s fourth collection of diaries and prose. Spanning 2016 to 2024, the year he turned 90, these entries reflect on Brexit, lockdown, the premiership of Johnson, the rise of Trump, and the death of the Queen. Amid these events, Bennett recounts holidays, revisits favourite spots across England, and wanders through churches, antique shops, and the National Gallery, while also lamenting the decline of curlews, the closure of local banks, and the erosion of the welfare state. Recording both the personal and political in his own distinctive voice, this is a poignant and funny book for the bedside.

Insights
Alan Bennett has been one of Britain’s leading dramatists since the 1960s. His television series ‘Talking Heads’ is regarded as a modern classic, alongside many of his acclaimed stage works, including ‘Forty Years On’, ‘The Lady in the Van’, ‘A Question of Attribution’, and ‘The Madness of George III’ - which he later adapted into the Oscar-nominated screenplay ‘The Madness of King George’. At the National Theatre, ‘The History Boys’ achieved outstanding success, winning Evening Standard, Critics’ Circle, Olivier, and South Bank Awards. Bennett’s prose collection ‘Untold Stories’ received the PEN/Ackerley Prize for Autobiography in 2006.
