Thekla really loved them!

In her recent memoir of the time of her life that she spent with Wystan and Chester, Thekla Clark gives us an unassuming and very personal view of these two great characters of the 20th. century. Although I probably should'nt compare the two, it is a far more personal and approachable account than that of Richard Davenport-Hines' very bookish biography, which I have also just read.(Perhaps they should be read in series to balance things out a bit!) In any case, Thekla Clark's love for these two is apparent and charming, as her perception of the moralistic age in which they were forced to live. A must-read for any Audenophile or Kallmanist!
