An Orderly Man

Volume Three of his Bestselling Autobiography. As work on Visconti's Death in Venice draws to a close, Dirk Bogarde is preparing his house in Provence as a retreat. Before he is rewarded with the peace and tranquillity he craves, however, he is forced to endure damage to his possessions, dying olive trees and the rampaging mistral. This third volume of autobiography also covers the years in which Dirk Bogarde gave some of his finest, most sensitive acting performances and began his career as a gifted writer, imposing order on a rich and varied life.
