And then I met the author. I didn’t like him. I’m sorry to say it but he just struck me as a bit of a cold fish. You’ll have seen photographs of him on the book jackets; the slim face, the closely cropped silver hair, the round wire-framed glasses.
1) this prompted me to Google Alan Conway. Top result points to a conman who impersonated Stanley Kubrick.
2) does a publisher really care if author personable?
