&#8220;Did you vote?&#8221; I asked my 17-year old daughter this morning at breakfast. She looked at me bewildered.
&#8220;I didn’t know I could,&#8221; she replied.
&#8220;I put the voting papers on your desk a few weeks ago,&#8221; I said. And then continued: ‘As a responsible member of society it is important to take ones political duties seriously.&#8221;

Last week was London Bookfair. There is nothing creative or glamorous about this fair. It’s an industry trade fair. Texts are traded for money and the international rights centre on the second floor in Earls Court resembles a bank’s trading floor. And like a stock exchange, the value of the commodity has little to do [...]]]></description>

The beauty of blind spots is, you can’t see them in the mirror. On others, of course, you spot them from afar.

On Friday I had lunch with a publishing colleague, Gary Pulsifer from Arcadia Books.

Stewart, the gerbil, is very ill. Last Monday my son complained that his gerbil’s eyes weren’t as bright as they used to be. I looked at Stewart but couldn’t detect anything wrong. “He’s probably just a bit under the weather. Let’s watch him.” On Wednesday we decided to take him to the Vet.
Poor Stewart. He [...]]]></description>
