Who Do You Think You Are? — Malcolm Bradbury (Arrow)

Description

'Who Do You Think You Are?' — Malcolm Bradbury 'Who Do You Think You Are?' is a collection of seven short stories and nine parodies by Malcolm Bradbury, combining his characteristic wit, satire and sharp observation of contemporary British life. The stories turn their attention to academics, intellectuals, professionals and social institutions, while the parodies playfully imitate literary styles and conventions. Bradbury uses humour and absurdity to explore pretension, ambition, status and the often comic gap between how people see themselves and how they are seen by others. First published in 1976, the collection showcases the satirical imagination of the author best known for 'The History Man' and 'Eating People Is Wrong'.
