The diaries of such a man frorn the age of 18 tç, 36 rnight be expected to be somnewhat re- barbative. But "The Wandering Years"' is flot, and for good rea- sons: Beaton b as feeling-s as weil as whirns; hc is seîf-critîcaI as well aýs sel-f-intoxicated: and he write about lis environiment with cornî insiýght as wý,ell as infaiuation.

In the midast of such ga-ga ex- citements, however, Beaton re- mains a student of himself, 1winc- ing at his snobbery, and his early unpopu.larity. ,,He tells how he was bullied at aschool (by a gang led by Evelyn Waugh), and was sonie years l. ater thrown into a river by other tail-coated giuests at a grand social occasion. He re- calîs how thre arcli-faâshioniable Noel Coward, one of his idols, first scathingýly imicked himi and then gave hlm advice: "Your sleeves are too tight, your voice is too higli and too precise. You m-ustn'Ct do it, 1Itcloses so -many' doors."
