A unique memoir of a lifetime'srelationships - from one of Britain's most beloved literary companions.It's the other people around you, says Michael Frayn, who make you what you are. So he would like to say a briefword, looking back on life from his ninetieth year, about a few of the peoplewho have formed his own particular world. Some were friends; some not; somemore than friends. Some have had a profound effect; some only a passing one.Some you may know yourself; some you certainly won't. Some he now wonders if heever really knew himself. The last of his subjects in this selection, and thelongest and closest acquaintance of all, is his own body, a companion on life'sroad at least as idiosyncratic and puzzling as everyone and everything aroundit. Among Others is a patchwork memoirof a lifetime's encounters. Truthful and loving, sometimes elegiac, sometimescomic, it is a celebration of the endlessly intriguing otherness of others.
