This collection of writing, undertaken for love and for money, is
largely about books, writers and travel. It is an engrossing and
candid exploration of what it means to make a living from words.
Jonathan Raban weighs up the advantages of maintaining an independent
spirit against problems of insolvency and self-worth, confesses to
travel as an escape from the blank page, ponders the true art of the
book review, admires the role of the literary editor and remembers
with affection and hilarity events from his eccentric life at the
heart of literary London. Reading it is like eavesdropping on a
humane, rigorous and witty conversation.
