One Thing and Another

'Do you sometimes think that you might wish that you were a national treasure like Alan Bennett?'<br/>'I'm rather glad I'm not. I'm quite pleased to be what I think I am which is a sort of national liability.'<br/><br/>Over the course of seven decades Jonathan Miller has been at the forefront of developments in theatre opera comedy philosophy and scientific debate. This new collection brings together the very best of his acerbic writing.
