Alex James writing second autobiography

By | Published on Wednesday 3 March 2010

Alex James has announced that he is writing a second autobiography. The first volume, ‘A Bit Of A Blur’, published in 2007, chronicled his escapades as an international rock star (or whatever). This time around, he’ll being revealing what it’s like to make cheese in the countryside. Sounds riveting.

Speaking to The Mirror, James said: “I’m trying very hard to write a book – I’m just finishing it so I’m going into my bunker and emerge in the spring. It’s like [an] ‘A Year In Provence’-type thing – only cheesier”.

Asked if he had any advice for anyone else who likes the idea of giving it up and moving to the country, he added: “If you’re thinking about it, just do it – I love my life in the country. It’s funny, I never want to leave now.I thought I was retiring, but I’ve never been so busy. It’s very absorbing, living in the country, it has very different rhythms to city life which you sort of grow into. It is very different to the city but the more you stay here, the more it grows on you. It’s subtle but it’s powerful”.
