George Sprott 1894-1975

How to encapsulate a life in all its disorder, with its revelations and misunderstandings, with all its disappointments, but also its joys? Seth, acclaimed author of Clyde Fans, offers his tragicomic answer to these questions with George Sprott: 1894-1975. Page after page we learn about George, an old-fashioned TV presenter, a creature of habit, a charming yet bombastic old man, facing the last days of his life. He transports us back to the memories of the frustrated love of his life, Olive Mott, and the woman he marries, Helen. His trips to the Arctic and the exotic portrait that his documentaries revealed of the Great White North. His habit of falling asleep live, in the middle of the program. The final anecdote of him.
