The Radiance of the King
At the beginning of this masterpiece of African literature, Clarence, a white man, has been shipwrecked on the coast of Africa. Flush with self-importance, he demands to see the king, but the king has just left for the south of his realm. Traveling through an increasingly phantasmagoric landscape in the company of a beggar and two roguish boys, Clarence is gradually stripped of his pretensions, until he is sold to the royal harem as a slave. But in the end Clarence’s bewildering journey is the occasion of a revelation, as he discovers the image, both shameful and beautiful, of his own humanity in the alien splendor of the king.
Throwback
Smoke from smouldering sea-coal, bitter, harsh and salty as the air veils the grey slate roofs, the harbour lamps, the quays, the steps, the figures on the dreaming bridge.

Mornings in Whitby After a life of travel, Kirkup goes back to his beginnings on Tyneside, to early friendships and influences, to the warmth of his family - and beyond, to pay homage before the body of a two thousand year old Dane, "inhabitant of my ancestral land". Throwback is illustrated with photographs from Kirkup's family album.
