“The easiest thing to write was 'Fever Pitch' because it was a memoir.” — Nick Hornby Quote

The easiest thing to write was 'Fever Pitch' because it was a memoir.

A while back, when Dick and Barry and I agreed that what really matters is what you like, not what you are like, Barry proposed the idea of a questionnaire for prospective partners.

In a way, novel writing is such a permanently student lifestyle. When it comes to movies, and you have to go to these meetings and try and impress people and get money out of them, I feel as though I'm playacting at being somebody who's grown up.
