About the Book

Actor, doctor, TV presenter, film director, opera director, sculptor - Sir Jonathan Miller's careers cover a vast range. He is also a gifted and insightful writer, but his writings have been scattered across a series of books and articles over the last sixty years. This selection gives an idea of the depth and variety of his preoccupations, from mesmerism to neurology, film and theatre to art history and technique, parody to reportage. Each extract has an introduction by Miller, setting it in the context of his interests in the arts and sciences. With wit and perception, Miller casts light on many aspects of the world which we take for granted, and illuminates them with original insights. His writings incorporate ideas and techniques which have made Miller a unique presence on the cultural scene, gathered together here for the first time in one collection.

About the Author :
Jonathan Miller first came to public attention as a performer in the very successful comedy review Beyond the Fringe. He qualified as a doctor, but was soon seduced by television, presenting and drecting arts programmes, including a memorable Alice in Wonderland. He has directed plays for the BBC, and the National Theatre, and operas at the ENO, the Met in New York, and La Scala, Milan. He has also curated art exhibitions, as well as producing his own artworks in painting, sculpting and photography. Underlying all his cultural work has been an interest in human behaviour, how the brain works, and the philosophy of mind, and in media interviews and platform discussions he is still an important thinker in British cultural life.

Review :
"Jonathan Miller is a genius whose passionate and agile mind takes all of human behaviour as its subject. He is as playful and full of humour as he is serious and profound, ranging easily from the ways in which minute body movements inflect a performance to his abiding interest in artists' representation of the human form. Miller is equally at home with physiology, philosophy, and psychology, and what he has to say is always surprising and insightful. On Further Reflection is dazzling from beginning to end." OLIVER SACKS. AUTHOR OF THE MAN WHO MISTOOK HIS WIFE FOR A HAT
