I spoke too soon, promising to shut up, go away and get on with the next book. On Saturday 23rd in the UK Independent newspaper’s Books’ section you can catch One Minute with Laurie Graham. And that’s probably quite long enough.

 It’s the result of an interview conducted using the Band Aid Removal technique, i.e. done so fast you don’t have time to think about it. Perhaps it makes the answers more revealing.

Anyway, it was very flattering to be asked. I just hope the published result doesn’t make me sound too much like a woman standing in her kitchen peeling potatoes. Which is what I was.

I suppose I’d better start thinking about music for Desert Island Discs. Just in case.
