Half An Arch is the compelling autobiography of one of the most distinctive English writers of the late twentieth century, Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy. In The Rise and Fall of the English Nanny, The Public School Phenomenon, and Doctors, Gathorne-Hardy explored three apparently familiar institutions with unprecedented originality and depth. Now the biographer of writer and adventurer Gerald Brenan and American sexologist Alfred Kinsey brings the same rigour, perception and sensitivity to bear on the story of his own life, as he chronicles, vividly but without sentimentality, the brutal decline in the fortunes of the clever and colourful Gathorne-Hardy family in the aftermath of two world wars.
Alfred Kinsey was this century's first scientifically reputable, influential researcher into sex. The author has interviewed in depth Kinsey's family, colleagues, friends and lovers, and reveals whole new aspects of this complex, obsessive man.
Jarred loose from the ocean floor by a tremendous explosion, an island occupied by a young girl and her two companions floats out to sea under the command of two British sailors who believe that World War II is still in progress.
