I was listening to a an old Guardian book club podcast with Hanif Kureishi about the Buddha of Suburbia and he said something which rang true with me, that a novel is about the writer trying to find a story which allows him to write about what is currently in his head (his interests and observations and curiosities).
I was listening to it as I went for a run around the dinosaurs in Crystal Palace park. This is my first blog posting with ScribeFire, a Firefoxplug in which lets you post to blogs quickly, within the browser.
