{"product_id":"rebeccas-vest","title":"Rebecca's Vest","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Miller was in his mother's womb when she left his father in London, bringing to an end a brief marriage. \u003cb\u003eRebecca's Vest\u003c\/b\u003e treats subsequent beginnings and phases of his life: orphan-like upbringing by female relatives in the heart of Midlothian; national service; Cambridge and the start of his career in London, which was to culminate in his founding editorship of the \u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books \u003c\/i\u003e... Karl Miller is as generously sensitive to the gifts and style of others as he is savagely precise about his own shortcomings.' Mick Imlah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Like walking barefoot on sharp pebbles - and worth every memorable, searing step.' Valentine Cunningham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A dry, witty, elegant book, \u003cb\u003eRebecca's Vest\u003c\/b\u003e stays in my mind while other books fade.' Doris Lessing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Fascinated by doubleness, the author of a highly original critical work on the subject, Miller calls himself a double man, but understates the case. There are more than two of him in there.'
