  The best of the author's interviews, reviews and articles are gathered together in book form. Loosely linked by the theme of embarrassment - as experienced by theatre audiences and solitary diners, by interviewers and interviewees - his subjects range from Alice Faye, Judy Garland and Marlene Dietrich to Henry James, Colette and the Kray twins; from the Carry On comedies to memories of his own grandmother, the author Ada Leverson. Together they provide a perspective on a particular chapter of British cultural life.
