FUTURE INDEFINITE

by Noel Coward ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

He got away with it once- did Mr. Noel Coward in the first volume of his autobiography, Present Indicative, but once was enough. This second installment takes the reader through the war years, with a brief term- during the ""phony war""- of trying to find out what his assignment was in the still pleasant environs of Paris, with flittings here and there. And then- after successive turndowns of jobs that seemed unimportant in view of his publicity value -- a royal progress from Dominions to behind the battle fronts, as entertainer, the role in which he could unashamedly be wholly Noel Coward. Celebrity value plus- he met the top brass and the V.I.P.s, was wined and dined and feted, and tosses names about with abandon. There are occasional bits of good theatre, inevitably, but in the main the book is rather dull reading unless you find Noel Coward, in all guises, irresistible.
