Angela Lambert

I think the reception of the book is worth thinking about because when it was published in 1987, actually most people who reviewed it liked it a lot.

And some people there, there was Angela Lambert in The Independent, wrote a huge profile of Burley's.

I think she got to interview him as well.

And she thought this was an important book about what it was like to grow up somewhere that was very far from the cultural centre And here was somebody who'd gone on to make something of themselves in the world.
