Reminiscent of boarding school days, our first lockdown means Guy is back to writing letters to his mum, Peggy. Fifty years on writing comes easier, and he certainly has tales to tell and stories to share. He follows the national timeline of events during this turbulent period with wit and hilarity.
Brash, exuberant, wholly unafraid of a dash of cliché, or of unabashedly bending asides of vulgarity and schoolboy humour to his purpose, Guy Dudeney has here constructed a kind of vaudeville act out of his life. It came out of his desire to entertain and keep connection with his ailing mother through the long Covid lockdown, when she lies helpless in a nursing home and her son can neither speak to or visit her. So he sends 50 or so epistles, each a miniature stage performance, in an effort to keep the connection alive.
Guy's letters became a source of pleasure for both Peggy and the staff that care for her. Guy's personal stories are a wonderful memoir and account of modern-day community spirit.
