Welcome to the Diary page

Welcome

Welcome, finally, to my website. Here's info on me, my books and other writings, what I'm up to, and the inevitable deeply self-absorbed blog. Visit, graze, leave a comment, then go out into the sunshine and read.

I've been Wikied (and a new play to see)

|

By whatever strange alchemy that runs Wikipedia, I now have my very own entry.  It's not especially good yet, as they (whoever "they" ended up being) have pretty much just summarised my biog page from this website. 

I'm sure they meant well, but I have to say, my biog page is sort of friendly and fun; the resulting translation to Wiki loses something and seems oddly accusatory, as if sometime, somewhere, I'd tried to deny these facts.  What are you gonna do?  I should probably start lying in interviews and official sources, see what sticks.  Have I mentioned I'm half Mauritanian?

I'm also on a bit of a roll at the minute with good theatre.  The Walworth Farce at the National is brilliant:  funny and ripely written and very menacing.  Go see it.
