Such a clever, witty and intelligent man. I vividly remember being transfixed by him. Laughing out loud before anyone LOLed.
I had a bit of an obsession with The Clive James show in high school, and loved him. I kept coming back for more.
I just had to find this clip of Margarita Pracatan performing on The Clive James show back in 1996. In fact, I watched this just a couple of months ago because I often think of Margarita Pracatan. I know. My mind is an unusual place.
From essays, poetry to reviews, the man has a wonderful way with words. I think that's why I was drawn to him.
Looking for some Clive James clever-ness? Here. Here. And here.

Saddened to read this post as I too loved Clive James and remember going on a family holiday to Surfers with one of his books to read.. oh how cool I was. But oh so very happy to be reminded of Margarita Pracatan! Brings back great memories.
Oh that's so sad, I didn't even realise he was ill.
You did make me remember that I used to watch his show with my parents and I fondly recall Pracatan :)
I often think of Margarita Pracatan too! Poor old Clive. His show was ace!
