Graham Norton Laid Bare

by Alison Bowyer

Graham Norton's unique blend of camp comedy, cosy chattiness, and brilliant bitchiness has earned him a place in the nation's hearts. But not too much is known about Graham Norton's private life, and so biographer and journalist Alison Bowyer has travelled to his native Ireland and talked to friends and relatives about this irrepressibly likeable man.

I love Graham Norton, so when I ran across this at a used book sale I picked it up. I'm so glad I didn't pay full price for nothing more than a collection of quotes from various interviews, with Graham and with others who have known him, and from magazine articles, I think. Since there is no attribution given to any of the quotes, who knows? I learned a little bit about Graham's early life and career, but I could have gotten that from Wikipedia.

Ok as biographies go.

This was quite interesting although the writing was a bit annoying. It was as if each chapter was written by a different person as there was a lot of repeated stuff. I must have read three or four times who gave him his first booking and a similar amount of times that Nicholas Parsons is a good friend of his

Interesting enough, but no contribution from Graham himself apart from quotes from newspaper and magazine interviews he gave over the years, which were in the public realm. I think I’ll read his own autobiography and get his story in his own words

Bit out-of-date now, but interesting enough read.
