THE LICK OF LOVE — HOW DOGS CHANGED MY LIFE
Julian Clary/Quercus
Hilarious, salacious, and heartrending, The Lick of Love is the new autobiography by comic and author Julian Clary. Beginning with Fanny the Wonder Dog, a rescue that rescued him right back and helped propel him up the ranks of the alternative comedy circuit, Clary uses the prism of his relationships with dogs to reveal his life story. From brief encounters in nightclubs, working as a signing Tarzano-gram, finding TV success, the death of his partner, that Norman Lamont joke and a bizarre episode involving the Bulgarian mafia, to his move to the country and finally settling down, Julian’s unique voice radiates off the page. Laugh-out-loud funny. 14 Oct
