Book description
Journalist, presenter, broadcaster, husband, father, vigorous
all-rounder - Alan Partridge - a man with a fascinating past and an
amazing future. Gregarious and popular, yet Alan's never happier than
when relaxing in his own five-bedroom, south-built house with three
acres of land and access to a private stream. But who is this mysterious enigma?
I Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan is the memoir of Alan
Partridge, the nation's favourite broadcaster. It is a work of
heart-breaking majesty.
Genuinely one of the best books of the last fifteen to twenty years, I,
Partridge charts the highs, lows and middle bits in the life of one of
Europe's most revered inquisitors. 'The funniest book of the year and
possibly all time.' *****Heat
'This book is a genuinely hilarious read' Shortlist
'A rare treat… painfully funny in that inimitable Alan way.' ****
Sunday Express
'As a parody of celebrity autobiography, it's sound; but as a sustained
piece of comic writing, it's outstanding.' **** Time Out
'Brilliantly witty' The Times
'This should be nominated for the Booker prize…it's a really funny book
but it's actually more than that…it blows my post-modern mind' David Baddiel
'I, Partridge might just be the funniest book I've ever read. Proper
laugh out load moment on every page.' Richard Bacon
'This fictional memoir … could be the antidote to the celeb biographies
that clog the Christmas book market. It's as acute a spoof of the
publishing sub-genre as the Alan Partridge character is of a whole
tranche of crassly opinionated lowbrow broadcasters…brilliantly
sustained wit.' Evening Standard
'I, Partridge is an indispensable guide to what it's like to be an
all-round media personality in the 21st Century. In this, it compares
very well with the finest in the genre.' **** Mail on Sunday
***** The Telegraph
'Extremely funny' Word Magazine
'Pure comic genius' The Independent
'The best book of the year… without peer… I urge people to go out and
buy it.' Danny Baker
'An acutely observed mock-memoir, touching on the great man's highs
(receiving a Burton's Gold Card) and lows (Toblerone addiction) in
equally self-regarding manner.' Independent on Sunday
'A magnificent comedy creation'; 'The significant celebrity book this
year.' The Guardian Alan Partridge presents Mid Morning Matters on
North Norfolk Digital. Broadcaster, writer, motivational speaker, sports
fan, thought-leader, businessman and consummate professional, Alan
enjoys bitter shandy, high-end knitwear, The Daily Mail newspaper and
personal success. He is currently doing very well.
