Bennett’s diary takes the reader from the filming of "Talking Heads" to thoughts on Boris Johnson, from his father’s short-lived craze for family fishing trips, to stairlifts, junk shops of old, having a haircut, and encounters on the local park bench. Literary figures played a key role in some of the songs of Radiohead, and Thom Yorke has paid tribute to the inspiration of writers such as Ben Okri. The band were also influenced by Kurt Vonnegut’s 1963 science fiction novel Cat’s Cradle when composing their song “Nice Dream”. The Vonnegut link is one of the hundreds of intriguing facts in a new biography of the band, Radiohead: Life in a Glasshouse (Palazzo Editions), written by John Aizlewood, a music expert and editor of Q magazine in its heyday. Covering more than three decades, the book is a must-have for fans of this influential group.

He has worked at these threads over the years like a schoolboy worrying at a sleeve. There's the Kafka thread and the spying thread, the family thread and the royalty thread, all part of the fine knitted weave from which he unravels "Alan Bennett". In among these yarns, he has returned often to Auden, the principal subject of The Habit of Art. In the habits of Bennett's own art, Auden figures as one of two early examples of "Literature with a capital L" against whom Bennett as a young man – bookish but never, in his own estimation, well read – stumbled in search of his vocation. (The other is TS Eliot, whose wife Valerie was the daughter of a woman who bought her sausages from Bennett's father, a butcher in Leeds. "There was a time when I thought my only connection with the literary world was that I had once delivered meat to TS Eliot's mother-in-law.")

Richard Eyre once suggested to me that the kind of anecdote for which Bennett is famous tends to "seek him out… when you are with Alan you feel that his particular perception of the world is so powerful that the world itself becomes Bennettesque around him." It has taken nearly a lifetime for that perception of the world to take proper public account of all the impulses that created it. "For a long time, years even," Bennett recently wrote, "it seemed to me I had nothing to put into what I wrote; and nor had I. I did not yet appreciate you do not put yourself into what you write, you find yourself there."
