The Roy Strong Diaries

The Roy Strong Diaries

by Sir Roy Strong (Author)

Synopsis

For over three decades Roy Sstrong has teased, tantalised, amused and sometimes enraged the British public, firstly in his capacity as the Director of two great cultural institutions, the National Portrait Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum, and more recently as a broadcaster, writer, garden expert and historian. Provocative on the issues of running a cash-starved museum, above all the diaries are a wonderfully entertaining chronicle of an age and some of its most memorable celebrities.

Book Overview: * The most explosive diaries sice Alan Clark's. * An invaluable reference book for those who have an interest in the people who have made up Britain's establishment during the last quarter of the twentieth century' Alistair McAlpine, TIMES * 'It is Strong's respect for political correctness, his life-embracing punctilio, his preference for truths that are aesthetic rather than merely personal ... that make THE ROY STRONG DIARIES so much more important than a sequence of society jottings' TLS.
