NON-FICTION Play All Clive James Yale University Press €11.20

Clive James was the best television critic of his generation and, in this absorbing look at the US TV dramas that have flooded our screens in recent years, he shows that he has lost none of his flair. He’s a very clever man but he’s not ashamed to be populist, writing with equal eloquence about Game Of Thrones and The West Wing.
