More than half of Brian Aldiss鈥檚 autobiography deals with his childhood at
boarding schools and his war years in Burma, and their effects on him: 鈥�. . .
why, I was hardly fit for human society. Thus destiny shaped me to be a
science-fiction writer.鈥� The Twinkling of an Eye is an often humorous, often
painful, but always fascinating and beautifully written account of Aldiss鈥檚 life
as a writer and critic, and more revealingly as a son, comrade, friend, lover,
husband and father. Published by Little Brown, 拢20, ISBN 0316647063.
