The interview with Christopher Nicholson was very well
presented and most satisfying. The questions were carefully phrased
and minimalised to enable Christopher to tell us all about the
different aspects of writing this unusual novel, aided by the
interviewer rather than hindered, which can easily be the case.
Through the interview I also got a feel of the man himself. Andrew
