I haven’t written here for a gazillion years – life is just too full-on. But I found out an amusing fact that I wanted to share. I’m not sure how it came up, but my Fiction Lab contact at the Royal Institution recently told me he’d done a little digging and found out that only three published fiction authors had ever given a Friday Evening Discourse there.
These were:
1. H.G. Wells
2. Ian McEwan
and
3. Me
!
PS. You can see my talk here. I also wrote about the terrifying run-up.
