I Never Met A Librarian Worth His

As An Arts Journalist In London, Working Mainly For The Bbc, I Interviewed Hundreds If Not Thousands Of Authors. From Them I Gleaned A Great Deal Of Passing Instruction In Writing And I Observed One Fascinating Detail: No Two Writers Approach Their Work - Physically - In The Same Way.

For A Startling Period Of My Life, I Reported The Troubles In Ireland For The Bbc. I Lived In Dublin And Was Called Out To All Sorts Of Incidents That, If Taken Together, Add Up To A War - Bombings, Assassinations, Riots, Shootings, Robberies, Jailbreaks, Kidnappings, And Sieges.

I'd Have To Struggle To Find A Subject In Which I Can't Get Some Kind Of Interested Pulse Started.
