Harry Hill writes his autobiography
Based on the things that didn t go right.
Harry Hill is publishing his autobiography.
Fight!: Thirty Years Not Quite At The Top, which will be published in November, is described as ‘ an honest and hilarious look back at his life and career through the lens of what didn t go right.’
Publishers Hodder Studio say: We join him on the journey in childhood, and his starring role in the cub panto, through a short-lived career as a hospital doctor - where he was reprimanded for daydreaming during a life-saving operation - to slogging it out on the comedy circuit in the 90s alongside comics like Bill Bailey and Jo Brand - to becoming a national TV teatime favourite.
I started blogging for the
Kenyon Review in February 2016, so with this blog post, I’ve officially surpassed the five-year mark. Five years! That’s how long it took to build the Hagia Sophia, which is a humbling thought. On the other hand, my tenure on this blog both predates and outlived the Trump administration, so I’ll take that as a win.
You can read my first post, a rumination on Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels and my own drifting friendship, here. In the years since, I’ve written about everything from watching a total eclipse to memorializing a writing teacher to signing with a literary agent while on vacation in Mexico City. I’ve written about rejection, literary nightmares, research inspirations, early influences, an ode to museums, and so much more. This blog has also given me the chancetointerviewsomeamazingwriters, for which I’m deeply grateful. In fact, I’ve loved blogging here even when I’ve hated it.
