Oops!Not visited literature for a wee while.
As for more information,I think you've got it covered CIKI;)
Of his books,I've only read Captive State,and found it extremely interesting.Well researched and written,although the subject matter doesn't lend itself to the title of a"gripping" tale.Still,worth a read.His Grauniad columns are what got me interested in the first place,and I'll definately be reading The Age of Consent,and hopefully going to hear him speak(as long as it's less than 2hours,or I'll be late for work.Gotta get off nights:(!).Not commie,definately green/left.I have no trouble recommending that people read his work.

er!is that a good enough excuse for a drunken nights posting Cani?soz won't do it again....sorry....sorry...
