Book excerpt: In his trademark style, Richard Mabey weaves together science, art and memoirs (including his own) to show the weather's impact on our culture and national psyche. He rambles through the myths of Golden Summers and our persistent state of denial about the winter; the Impressionists' love affair with London smog, seasonal affective disorder (SAD - do we all get it?) and the mysteries of storm migraines; herrings falling like hail in Norfolk and Saharan dust reddening south-coast cars; moonbows, dog-suns, fog-mirages and Constable's clouds; the fact that English has more words for rain than Inuit has for snow; the curious eccentricity of country clothing and the mathematical behaviour of umbrella sales. We should never apologise for our obsession with the weather. It is one of the most profound influences on the way we live, and something we all experience in common. No wonder it's the natural subject for a greeting between total strangers: 'Turned out nice again.'

Book excerpt: "Haunted by the ghosts of his fog-bound early life on the Norfolk coast, the church spires of Great Yarmouth and his father's sweet shop, Ted embarks on a mental journey full of unexpected twists and detours. What he discovers about himself and the eternally elusive figure of Upward turns out to have unexpected consequences for himself, Daniel and everyone else. Ranging in time and place from the rainswept Norfolk seafronts to 1960s Soho clubland, from bombs exploding in the Cyprus hills to Mosely's Daimler coursing though the East End, The Comedy Man is a mediation on post-war English life, confirming D.J. Taylor as one of the most imaginative novelists working in England today."--BOOK JACKET.
