Description

'I was approached by a courteous young man who handed me a visiting card engraved with his name, Joseph, and his profession: Senior Officers' Pimp.' Norman Lewis embarks on his career as a British spy in Arabia 'Why yes, what a pleasure to meet you.' He shook my hand. 'Refresh my memory. Do I owe you something?' Michael Mewshaw at last runs into his hero: Anthony Burgess 'Conversation was daunting. He seemed to have made up his brilliant mind about every possible topic, and condensed his conclusions into unanswerable aphorisms.' Richard Murphy meets W. H. Auden - and also Theodore Roethke and J. R. Ackerley PLUS New fiction from Anne Enright, Jackie Kay, Adam Mars-Jones, John McGahern and Paul Therous; in the operating theatre, Paul Broks explores the uncertain life of the brain; and the hidden world of seaports in photographs by Alex Majoli and words by James Hamilton-Paterson.
