Writer, soldier, bookseller, father: Brian Aldiss has earned many titles in his life. In the Twinkling of an Eye is a candid, vivid and charming look at the stories behind this distinctive writer of fiction. His life as a struggling novelist is unflinchingly laid bare. There are recollections of the beauty and freedoms of Sumatra, the camaraderie of the army and the sobriety of post-war England, bookselling in Oxford, marital breakdown and financial impoverishment. With insight and honesty, Aldiss delves into his role in the new wave of science fiction writing in the 1960s, and his friendships with his contemporaries: Anthony Storr, J.G. Ballard, Kingsley Amis, Doris Lessing, Michael Moorcock and William Boyd. This is Aldiss at his most-versatile, outspoken best.

As new book. Aldiss's account of his Norfolk childhood, his schooldays - he was exceptionally lucky in having an affair with a promiscuous young matron - and his three years as a soldier in Burma and further east, is conistently readable. There is no shortage of revealing stuff about the literary life on all levels but essentially, amd msot rewardingly, this is a story about family life.
