"One of the biographies of our generation - richly layered, funny, argumentative, moving and intellectually admirable. A great achievement"
Melvyn Bragg

Ranging across the years, In Search of Jerusalem conjures up the spirited encounters of Michael Kustow's many-sided life: a tender evocation of his parents; portraits of actors, stage directors, painters, film-makers; vivid descriptions of post-war and modern Paris, Mumbai, Tel Aviv and the occupied West Bank; the early days of Channel 4 television; and new insights into a moment of challenge and change. A life shaken up is reassembled in Kustow's cavalcade of survival and renewal.
