Veteran travel writer Eric Newby has a massive
following and is cherished as the forefather of the
modern comic travel book. However, less known are his
adventures during the years he spent as an apprentice
and commercial buyer in the improbable trade of women's
fashion. From his repatriation as a prisoner of war in
1945 to his writing of the bestselling 'A Short Walk in
the Hindu Kush' in 1956, Eric Newby's years as a
commercial traveller in the world of haute couture were
as full of adventure and oddity as any during his time
as travel editor for the Observer. 'Something Wholesale'
is Newby's hilarious and wonderfully chaotic tale of the
disorder that was his life as an apprentice to the
family garment firm of Lane and Newby, including
hilariously recounted escapades with sudden-onset wool
allergies, waist-deep predicaments in tissue paper and
the soul-destroying task of matching buttons. In
addition to the charming chaos of his work in the family
business, it is also a warm and loving portrait of his
father, a delightfully eccentric gentleman who managed
to spend more energy avoiding and actively participating
in disasters than he did in preserving his business.With
its quick wit, self-deprecating charm and splendidly
fascinating detail, this is vintage Newby - only with a
garment bag in place of a well-worn suitcase. |
