The Sound Of No Hands Clapping: A Memoir - Softcover

Toby Young has been fired from a succession of prestigious newspapers and magazines. He lives in London.

Simon Vance zestfully reads the self-deprecating annals of the author's attempts to achieve fame as a writer. Young's ambition is to become a successful screenwriter, but his path to success becomes an obstacle course as he bumps into the power people in Hollywood. In his reading, Vance makes sure that listeners enjoy Young's entertaining stories of the disappointments and mistakes he makes in the pursuit of his career. Vance's positive energy gives the author's words a hilarity that makes one want to hear more and more of the book. When you can't tell the difference between who wrote it and who is reading it and you don't really care, that's entertainment.
