520			_a"Described by Barry as a 'cubist self-portrait', My Life as Me revisits his childhood, his adolescence, his love-hate relationship with Australia and his adventures of the heart and of the stage. In this engaging memoir, his various fascinations are explored: painting, travel, marriage and divorce, and his friendships with comedians, artists and writers such as Spike Milligan, Dudley Moore, Peter Cook, Patrick White, Sidney Nolan, John Betjeman, Stephen Spender, and many others." "A master of comic writing, he tells us of his privileged youth in suburban Melbourne. With a disarming candour that he already regrets, he describes his hectic artistic and romantic career in Australia, England and America, and he shares with us hilarious behind-the-scenes details of his life as creator and personal manager of Les Patterson, Sandy Stone and Dame Edna Everage."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
