Quite a Good Time to be Born is a record of success, free of boasting or malice. Anyone with some knowledge of academia or the literary world will find it full of interest -- Allan Massie * Scotsman * A fascinating and moving read * Financial Times * An outstanding memoir... Lucid and witty * Irish Times * As a piece of reportage from the third quarter of the English 20th century this is a sociologist's paradise * Guardian * What one takes away from this half-memoir is the self-portrait of an extraordinarily good, wrongly modest man; a distinguished scholar, and one of the finest of current novelists -- John Sutherland * Spectator *
