The Sun Magazine Interview!
Until now only the first half of The Sun Interview that Amnon Buchbinder did with me has been available on line, on The Sun website. Now you can read the whole interview here. It really is the best overview of my work that is available, and has generated a dramatic upsurge of interest in it. Even if you’ve read the first half, it’s worth revisiting for the second!
This wonderful magazine has been my favourite read for a couple of years. It is entirely reader-supported (i.e.. no ads!) and offers an array of wonderful writing on the topics that make us human: art, philosophy as well as social and political issues.
