Bingeing It
A Diary of Retirement Reading
by
Graham Falconer
As the subtitle indicates, Bingeing It is an account of the author's leisure reading between 2016 and 2022, when it was no longer possible to pursue his academic research. The "binges" in question were often a matter of chance--a trip to Italy, a Christmas present, a hospital visit--but they aim to show how and why the books became life-long friends.
Born in Dumfries, Scotland, educated at Carlisle Grammar School and Exeter College, Oxford, with a doctorate from the University of Aix-Marseille, Graham Falconer taught French literature and history at the University of Toronto from 1966 to 2009. He lives in Iffley Village, near Oxford.
