Ustinov, Peter Ustinov: Still At Large
Prometheus Books 1995 0879759674 / 9780879759674 Trade Paperback Fine
Near-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or clippings. Illustrated. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 218 pages. From Publishers Weekly Actor, traveler and raconteur Ustinov writes a journal of sorts that takes the reader to the four corners of the world. With droll tone and deft turns of phrase (``Under our balcony at the hotel there is a bar which announces proudly it is open all night-like the window of our room,'' he notes after noisy revelers kept him awake), he describes his travels through the smoldering heat of Bangkok or a condom-littered ocean front in the south of France. Not that he is restricted to soft news: he comments as well on Bosnia and the Gulf War. While the book seems to be a compendium of columns for a newspaper, Ustinov lacks the American-style punch of a Tony Kornheiser or Mike Royko, opting for a more reasoned and subtle tone. It doesn't always work. When the author merely comments on world events, acting as a kind of journalistic armchair quarterback, the result is somewhat flat. But when Ustinov really takes the reader along in his travels, pointing out details like a fishbowl in riot-torn L.A. whose inhabitants almost certainly died when flames heated their habitat or the comments of taxi drivers in northern England, the sense of immediacy is truly impressive.
