Gill in conversation with John Mitchinson An unmissable evening with A.A.Gill in conversation with John Mitchinson on the occasion of his new book POUR ME, A Life, his dark yet laugh-out-loud memoir, which charts the soggy tangle of a shredded life; the year between the end of his marriage and the end of his drinking . "The one miserly charity of drink is that it strips away memory. You start by forgetting the last hour of Saturday night, a name, a conversation, how you lost your shoes, and then, as life begins to tumble like an up-ended skier, so the avalanche of forgetting comes and sweeps up the evidence, burying the remembrance in a soft white darkness, a roaring silence. After a time you've forgotten more than you can remember. For me. out of a decade I have perhaps two years, perhaps three, of remembrances ... There is a hope, if not a reliable fact, that this is the best I can muster, this is a retrospective truth gleaned from the shards and tesserae. An attempt to reimagine something lost, an emotional archaeology" A.A.
