Victoria was pretty grand–the conference, the sleep, and the weather!

He was a regular on the Victoria listserv for a while--I guess while he was working on 'The Crimson Petal and the White.' Lucky you, going to Victoria. But I never have conference envy (except for the sleeping part, about which you are perfectly right!). Where will the Michel Faber interview appear?

I always interpret 'travel time' as 'uninterrupted, peaceful time to spend being productive', which doesn't make for a good start in terms of realistic planning.
