The feature was syndicated by the Independent, then I wrote a book about the club, Don't Applaud, which was published by Scribe in 2020.
The Atlantic called it "superb oral history".
Dara Ó Briain called it "excellent".
My wife said it wasn't as good as my first book.

Love this on How to write travel by @kerrysmith01 – it's exquisite, iconic, full of hidden gems, cities of contrast, east meets west and other clichés. To which I would add, only time will tell forthwrite.substack.com/p/ho…

Apologies for the cameo, but this beauty by Kerry Smith should be a staple of all writing courses - not just travel...

Chilcot is a vindication for The Independent, which ran a brave & often-lonely campaign against Blair's war. Shame it is no longer in print
