Talk:Peter Lennon

Foreign Correspondent
In 1994 Peter Lennon published a book, Foreign Correspondent, detailing what he described as his contingent upbringing – alcoholic father, very little money coming in – and the liberation he found in Paris in the 1960s. There is much in the book of interest about his friendship with Samuel Beckett. Peter was a delightful man and a very fine writer with a style all of his own. He wrote periodically about Beckett for the rest of his life, and always with great insight. His knowledge of French cinema in the golden age of the 1950s and 60s was also encyclopaedic.
