IF YOU’D ENJOYED Running for the Hills (John Murray, 2006), a memoir of the author and his brother growing up on their mother’s farm in the Black Mountains of South Wales, and would like to read more about him and his tumble into drugs and destitution, here’s a follow-up you might enjoy, Truant: Notes from a Slippery Slope (John Murray, 2007).

I am a senior book and magazine editor who lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I love books and the freedom to read whatever makes me happy: both fiction and nonfiction. I have always been obsessed with the relationship between literature and life and its role in society. As an editor, I have edited many books, but never get tired of the grand adventure of reading. We must never underestimate the redeeming power of fiction in our lives. The idea that there is something out there that is far, far bigger than our lives sustains some of our lives. I am the co-editor of URBAN ODYSSEYS: KL STORIES.

He is the producer of the BBC3 radio show, The Verb for Ian MacMillan. He called me up to appear on the show. Very nice guy. I met him in the studio as well. Good luck wishes to him on his new book.
