Although the reading of some newspapers always leaves the sensation of invading the intimate space of another human being, there are some cases in which the revealed thing is so personal that could only be published posthumously, and only under the care and selection of a friend And literary executor, as did Francis King, who selected the material of JR Ackerley posted as My sister and me. In these pages, Ackerley spares to describe with harsh, almost visceral, his tortuous and fascinating relationship with his sister Nancy, terribly lonely and jealous of Aunt Bunny, to the extent of attempting suicide to attract (unsuccessfully) the attention of her brother Joe.
