[books] Meet the Parent — interview / profile of Tony Parsons.‘…Man and Boy seems unstoppable – it does that very rare thing, it reaches people who don’t normally buy books. The trouble is that when Parsons talks about it, there is no glimmer of the vision thing – he sounds almost like Jeffrey Archer, harping on about his sales figures. So, back to my original suspicion. Did he sit down one day and see the Nick Hornby bandwagon rolling past and think ‘I’ll have some of that’? Did he decide, cynically, hackily, to switch from smartarse to sensitive?’

I /love/ Man and Boy – one of the best books I have had the pleasure to read. Man and Wife should arrive in my postbox for review today – Can’t wait till I get home so I can start reading it
