		<description><![CDATA[It’s been a big week for me, in a literary sense, and for a number of reasons. Other Worlds continued to get rave reviews from visitors to Oxford’s Story Museum. I had an extract from The angel of the stories published in an American magazine. I was thrilled that Norwich won City of literature status [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Other Worlds opened at the Story Museum last week. The exhibition was a year in the making, but it all came together just in time for the public opening. Dark Angels writers, working with visual artists of their own choosing, filled more than twenty spaces in Oxford’s old GPO building with stories. The writers did [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve always loved the quirk that entrance is one thing as a noun and a completely different thing as a verb. Just a slight shift of pronunciation transforms it. Anita Klein’s art has the ability to entrance, and I hope many of you will experience that at Oxford’s Story Museum in May – as you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went to an event this week that should have demonstrated the power of imagination. It failed rather sadly. The event was the London Book Fair at Earl’s Court, a vast soulless warehouse of a place. I went because I have just begun working with a children’s book publisher, so I wanted to see what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my local supermarkets, Budgens in Crouch End, has been selling Hope this week. I think it’s a brilliant idea. On the shelves, in between the croissants, baked beans and skimmed milk, you find a stack of wooden blocks which have the lettering HOPE stamped on them. You can put the little block, like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“A picture’s worth a thousand words,” goes the well-known saying. To which Bill Marsteller replied: “But not necessarily worth one word. The right word.” I’m not initiating, or continuing, a war between words and images because I believe in the power of both, separately and together. Perhaps even more so together. My recent blogs – [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who reads Proust? Not many of us, I suspect. Remembrance of things past is a 12-volume commitment. Yet I also suspect we all know Proust’s theme and, in particular, the story of the madeleine cake. Tasted as an adult, it brought back a stream of childhood memories for Proust. There are probably at least 26 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week I’ve been thinking about university education. I’m preparing a talk for students at University College Falmouth in May. They’ll be students of English Literature and the Professional Writing course, so it’s good to combine the two. Tom Scott at Falmouth suggested I should talk about what business writers can learn from literature. It’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After my blog was hacked the other week, I was going to celebrate its restoration with some pictures. I thought I’d put up some photos taken when I was writer-in-residence at King’s Cross tube. But, as you see, the hacker did too good a job and I’m denied pictures for another week until it’s fully [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m continuing my London theme from last week simply because I live here, and my life inevitably informs my writing – as you might have noticed. I’ve been thinking more about the Tube because I’ve been watching a BBC documentary series with that title. The series is about what happens behind the scenes on the [...]]]></description>
