Apocalypse Now Then
Finished reading: In Plain Sight The Life and Lies of Jimmy Savile by Dan Davies 📚
In a preview to the dramatised television series of his biography, author Dan Davies says:
There is not a day that passes where I don’t wonder why I chose Savile. Of all the people to become obsessed with, to follow and agonise over, why did it have to be him? It is a question that provides no answer. The only consolation I can find is that my instincts were right.
I wonder why I keep being drawn back to Savile, but I will trust my instincts.
The opening chapter of Davies' book, “Apocalypse Now Then”, reads, deliberately so, as a litany: a nefarious late night excavation of Savile’s dead body; eulogies from the great and the good that followed his death; the absence of any knowing of the person who carried out the good deeds that earned the tributes from family, friends, and colleagues; the eventual and inevitable exposure of his lifetime of money-grabbing, psychopathic criminality; Savile’s ultimate immunity from it all.
