Frederic Raphael’s trademark is versatility and it’s on show in Last Post, part-epistolary-memoir, part-prosopography. Alongside stories of Wittgenstein, Somerset Maugham and George Steiner, the Darling Oscar-winner offers loud salutes, occasional raspberries and affectionate farewells to figures including Stanleys Donen and Kubrick, Tom Maschler, Ken Tynan and his daughter Sarah. He joins singer and writer Mark Glanville in conversation.
