Summary: "Myself When Young: Confessions" by Alec Waugh is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book explores the author's reflections on his youth, focusing on the experiences, culture, and the social dynamics of London during that time. Through a mix of introspection and narrative, Waugh offers insights into the life of a young man navigating the complexities of adulthood, creativity, and societal expectations. At the start of the memoir, Waugh vividly recounts a late-night decision to leave a party, weighing the cost of a taxi against the enjoyment of the evening. This moment of self-reflection leads him to ponder his early literary ambitions and the fickle nature of the publishing world, symbolized by an anticipated letter from his publisher. As he reminisces about these experiences, he also delves into feelings of connection and disconnection with friends, literature, and the bustling life around him. The opening sets the tone for a contemplative journey through memory and emotion, inviting readers to explore Waugh's perceptions of youth and the passage of time.
