In Father  Father  Burning Bright he writes with tragicomic insight about a son's vigil at his father's deathbed where their lifelong battle continues to the end. The Laying on of Hands, a brilliantly funny satire, describes a society memorial service for a rather special masseur who died tragically young; and in Miss Fozzard Finds her Feet, a lonely, unmarried department store clerk discovers there's more to life than looking after her brother through her only indulgence, her podiatrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Bennett\u003c\/b\u003e is a renowned playwright and essayist, whose screenplay for \u003ci\u003eThe Madness of King George\u003c\/i\u003e was nominated for an Academy Award.
