	The Mick Sinclair Archive: Clive James
		THE CLIVE James of the written word is an altogether more acceptable kettle of egotism than that which appears with irregularity on our television screens.
		James presents local history in jaunty dollops wherever he goes and takes illuminating, wit-soaked peeks at the present whether he's pretending to discuss economics with inscrutable Japanese economists or being moved to tears in Los Angeles by consuming whole the inferno-in-the-mouth pickle, the Jalapeño.
		James is in his element constructing one long anecdote out of a succession of smaller anecdotes with himself as the fulcrum.

	Book review, Clive James
		To the general public, Clive James has always been a humorously offbeat television personality from Australia, the host -- to pick a recent example -- of a series of playfully written documentaries on various world cities.
		But James has a secret identity: Once away from the makeup and the lights, he changes clothes in the nearest phone booth and becomes a respected literary critic.
		James does have his flaws, but virtually all of them are traceable to an excess of critical zeal.

	Clive James
		In the early 1990s, Clive James wrote and apeared in a television series (shown here on PBS) on the cultural history of fame in the 20th century.
		At the same time, the quality of James' critical intelligence is so tightly linked to his conversational style (so distinct, that is, from the authoritative tone of the lecture or the seminar) that it seems on the verge of disappearing into thin air.
		A couple of years ago, in the introduction to a smaller collection of James' pieces that appeared in England, Julian Barnes described his friend as "a passionate amateur, a full-time dilettante." In certain quarters, that phrase would be pronounced with a note of conspicuous disdain.

		Collections of James' essays seem to appear perennially, but in the days before he swapped the TLS for TV, James wrote regular book reviews, a clutch of which are reproduced here.
		James omits his later review of the Andrew Motion biography, Philip Larkin, which perhaps would have finished, or rather begun, the sequence, but the four pieces stand on their own.
		James is a polymath, yet as Julian Barnes points out in his pithy, affectionate introduction, perhaps the poetry, novels, television columns, television presenting, documentary-making and all-round celebrity detract from what is a considerable intellectual gift.

	Literary references in the lyrics of Clive James
		There isn't exactly a lack of evidence that Clive can produce a memorable image of his own when he wants to, and many of them are all the better for being highly visual and specific.
		The first way in which I think Clive uses his literary borrowings is the one Eliot uses: to evoke the context of the literary work which is being quoted and to import some of its meaning.
		I think Clive's description in Tongue-Tied to 'a sentence that glitters and dances' is a willing admission of a magpie tendency to spot and make off with the best bits from a number of literary sources in order to show them to advantage elsewhere.
