Basil Street Blues: A Memoir (2001) - Plot & Excerpts

This is a sad book. Holroyd has had enormous success which he doest mention at all, because of the failures of his parents in many ways. His father died old and supported by Holroyd, his mother dies early of cancer after an eventful life, and other family live too long and have miserable ends. After writing about so many successful and brilliant people, to turn to your own family and find a reality of underachievement, snobbery, and unjustified view of their status, must have been difficult. But he remains non judgemental, and we just are left with the residual sadness about the banl ending to our lives.
