‘The perfect representation of Boyd’s voice, and a reflection of his humanity and wit, with a vast amount to say about writing and the creative process. A great book’
Alexander Larman, author of Power and Glory
‘A formidable repository of knowledge and experience, and a great resource for fledgling screenwriters and film fans alike’
Roger Michell, writer/director of My Cousin Rachel
‘Intellectually intimate, unpretentious, informative, entertaining, anecdotal, fearless, funny, serious, an addictive page-turner, one of the great memoirs’
Craig Raine, Observer, Books of the Year
‘I look forward to reading more volumes from Owen that will match this fascinating, insightful collection’
Christopher Fowler, Independent on Sunday
‘The most purely likeable book about cinema I have ever read. Robinson talks about his profession in a way that is astonishingly clear-headed, funny and wise’
David Hare, Guardian, Books of the Year
‘I much enjoyed The Vetting Officer. The fractured narrative is handled with great aplomb, and its slender length is absolutely justified by its intensity. Bravo!’
William Boyd
Writer of original and adapted screenplays and stage plays, including feature film and TV collaborations with screenwriters Rupert Walters and Jeremy Brock
