Playing out

[desperance]

Philip Hensher, writing in the Guardian, wonders why so many brilliant fiction writers turn out atrocious dramas. "It's a curious fact that very few writers have ever been able to write both good novels and good plays. Almost invariably, even the most acclaimed and technically skilled novelist turns into a rank amateur when writing for the theatre."

Guess what I'm doing next, soon as this novel goes away...?

Anyone wants to read the rest of this assassination, it's here.

Thanks, Phil.
