From Alan Bennett, the author of The Madness of King George, come two stories about the strange nature of possessions...or the lack of them. In the nationally bestselling novel The Clothes They Stood Up In, the staid Ransomes return from the opera to find their Regents Park flat stripped bareright down to the toiletpaper roll. Free of all their earthly belongings, the couple faces a perplexing question: Who are they without the things theyve spent a lifetime accumulating? Suddenly a world of unlimited, frightening possibility opens up before them.In The Lady in the Van, which The Village Voice called one of the finest bursts of comic writing the twentieth century has produced, Bennett recounts the strange life of Miss Shepherd, a London eccentric who parked her van (overstuffed with decades worth of old clothes, oozing batteries, and kitchen utensils still in their original packaging) in the authors driveway for more than fifteen years. A mesmerizing portrait of an outsider with an acquisitive taste and an indomitable spirit, this biographical essay is drawn with equal parts fascination and compassion.
