Enough Said is Alan Bennett's fourth collection of diaries and prose. Covering the turbulent years 2016 to 2024, the diaries take us through lockdown, Brexit, the reign of Johnson, the rise of Trump and the death of the Queen. In between, we take the train with him back and forth to Yorkshire, celebrate the herons, the newts and the street fairs, and lament the scarcity of curlews, the closure of the last local bank and the deteriorating welfare state. There is the premiere of Allelujah!, the revived Talking Heads, the publication of two Sunday Times bestsellers and the filming of The Choral.

2024 is the year that Alan turns ninety; he reflects on old age and the importance of luck. He looks back to childhood and recalls an idyllic wartime month as an evacuee. A book for the bedside, this is poignant, funny, contemplative Alan Bennett, as he records life both personal and political in his most distinct of voices.©2026 Alan Bennett (P)2026 Profile Books Limited Art & Literature Authors Funny Heartfelt

Really enjoyable listen. Alan Bennett as his finest. Funny, touching and topical. Hope it is not “enough Said” and he is continuing to write his diary

As wonderful as ever

A poignant and thoughtful memoir that soothed my troubled mind in these unsettled times. It was just like a warm cashmere blanket, enveloping me and keeping me safe and warm.

So Comfortable.

Sad to say but this is one book too many. Age has taken its toll and interesting events and observations in a long life have all but dried up.
