I'm watching a vintage interview with Paul Newman at the NFT. Early 70s. Is that Trevor Eve in the audience on the right?

Just for those who enjoy 1920s as a period, and who are interested in the history of Shanghai, the city that made Chicago under Capone look like a safe, law-abiding city! You can get your own copy from here: www.amazon.co.uk/One-Last-Dan...

Markus Zusak is the bestselling author of The Book Thief but his new book is a work of non-fiction about the problem dogs he's had. As the servant to a problem dog myself, I nodded along with his writing. Often lyrical, always readable and ultimately moving, this is a fine read.
