John Eidinow has published three books with his co-author David Edmonds, each describing knock-down, drag-out clashes between men of titanic gifts: “Wittgenstein’s Poker” (Random House) which was short-listed for the Guardian First Book Award and translated into over thirty languages; “Bobby Fischer Goes to War” (Faber & Faber) which was long listed for the Samuel Johnson prize; and “Rousseau’s Dog” (Faber & Faber).
He was a presenter/interviewer for BBC Radio 4 and World Service radio, working in news and current affairs and making documentaries on historical and contemporary issues.
“Another Day”, a tale of love, deceit and espionage in the opening months of the Second World War, is his first novel.

“Cultures are not that easily disposed of.’ She looked over the dark lake, then began again. ‘You can prune and shape the young tree, but the roots go deep. To tear them out is painful, perhaps impossible. And the long taproot may stay in the soil without your knowing.”
― John Eidinow, Innocence To Die For

John’s Quotes

“The storm that batters the magnolia’s
impermeable leaves, the long-drawn drum roll
of Martian thunder with its hail
...
lighting that makes stark-white the trees,
the walls, suspending them –
interminable instant – marbled manna
and cataclysm –”
― Geoffrey Hill after Montale
