The drama critic Kenneth Tynan led opinion, roused tempers and sparked the theatrical explosion of the 1960s. This selection of his letters - witty, scandalous, intellectual, passionate - plunges the reader into the heady cultural life of his time. The selection traces the making of a scandalous intellectual persona, and a lifetime battle against the forces of convention and complacency. Never before published, the letters reveal a great range of subject and correspondent. Tynan wrote to John Lennon on sex; to the Lord Chamberlain on censorship; to his schoolfriend Julian Holland on American comics, cricket and prose style; to Marlene Dietrich on candour and autobiography; and to his many girlfriends on love.
