Nigel Dempster & the Death of Discretion: The Life and Legacy of the World's Greatest Gossip,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
If there is any one person responsible for the birth of celebrity culture, it is the late, great gossip columnist Nigel Patton Dempster (19412007).From the early sixties to the mideighties as the editor of Dempsters Diary on the Daily Mail, Dempster was the man perfectly placed and qualified to record and accelerate the end of the age of deference. For many years, for many people, Dempster was the Daily Mail. His diary, with its scurrilous revelations about the great, the good, and the notso good, was the only page to read.In his kipper ties and natty blazers, he brought a raffish sparkle to a dull decade, exposing the infidelities of Harold Pinter and Lady Antonia Fraser or James Goldsmith and Annabel Birley, paying tipsters like the bouffant Lord Lichfield with crates of champagne, and sometimes breaking stories of national importance the collapse of Princess Margarets marriage, the resignation of Harold Wilson.But, for all his convivial charm, his canny ability to infiltrate the smart set, Dempster led a rather strange, lonely life, marred by broken relationships and an onoff battle with drinking. In this riveting book, Tim Willis charts Dempsters bibulous journey through old Fleet Street and society as a tragiccomic romp. In so doing, he provides a portrait of an age.
