At My Mothers Knee (2000) - Plot & Excerpts

I found it lying around at my parents' place and didn't expect much, but Mr O'Grady is an engagingly sympathetic character, so I kept with him as he stumbled through his pious Catholic upbringing, between boyfriends and girlfriends, consistently disappointing and disgusting his parents and their relatives. It's a good read, particularly if you like the word "peripatetic" or have no desire of a Polari glossary for when he lands in London. Loved the first half of this book, it was so witty and had me laughing out loud on many occassions. I especially loved how he described his Mum and the things she used to do. Towards the end I found it lost it's humour and began to be more about his going out onto the gay scene. I thought he should have stopped writing around chapter 15. Still, I reccomend this as a great read, something easy, perfect for holiday.
