Enough Said by Alan Bennett - display pack and competition (plus copies of the book)

**Please read all the information below before placing an order** 

20 September. Have a notion for a radio series - Awkward Conversations.

Enough Said is Alan Bennett's fourth collection of diaries and prose. Covering the turbulent years 2016 to 2024, the diaries take us through lockdown, Brexit, the reign of Johnson, the rise of Trump and the death of the Queen. In between, we take the train with him back and forth to Yorkshire, celebrate the herons, the newts and the street fairs, and lament the scarcity of curlews, the closure of the last local bank and the deteriorating welfare state. There is the premiere of Allelujah!, the revived Talking Heads, the publication of two Sunday Times bestsellers and the filming of The Choral.

2024 is the year that Alan turns ninety; he reflects on old age and the importance of luck. He looks back to childhood and recalls an idyllic wartime month as an evacuee. A book for the bedside, this is poignant, funny, contemplative Alan Bennett, as he records life both personal and political in his most distinct of voices.

 40 display packs are available to request from Profile Books. Packs include:

  • 2x hardback copies of Enough Said for the library
  • Pack of bookmarks
  • A2 and A3 posters
