A unique memoir of a lifetime's friendships - from one of Britain's most beloved literary companions.

'One of our best contemporary writers.' Sunday Telegraph

It's those around you who make you who you are.

Michael Frayn would like to say a brief word about a few of the people who have formed his
own particular world. Some were friends, some were not; some were more than friends.
Some have had a profound effect, some only a passing one. Some he now wonders if he ever
really knew. But each has had a formative effect on his own remarkable life.

Among Others is a patchwork memoir of a lifetime's encounters. Truthful and loving,
sometimes elegiac, sometimes comic, it is a celebration of the endlessly intriguing otherness
of others.

time.' Daily Mail
