Travels with a Typewriter

- A Reporter at Large
Af: Michael Frayn Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser

In mid-career, Michael Frayn took up his old trade of journalism, and wrote a series of occasional articles for the Observer about some of the places in the world that interested him. He wanted to describe ''not the extraordinary but the ordinary, the typical, the everyday'', and his accounts became the starting point for some of the novels and plays he wrote later.

From a kibbutz in Israel to summer rains in Japan, bicycles in Cambridge to Notting Hill at the end of the 1950s, they are glimpses of a world that sometimes seems tantalisingly familiar, sometimes vanished forever.

Michael Frayn is the celebrated author of fifteen plays including Noises Off, Copenhagen and Afterlife. His bestselling novels include Headlong, which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, Spies, which won the Whitbread Best Novel Award and Skios, which was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize.

"All writers of fiction should be required by law to go out and do a bit of reporting from time to time, just to remind them how different the real world in front of their eyes is from the invented world behind them." Michael Frayn

''Whether he''s on a kibbutz or a bicycle, Frayn makes acute observations and the writing is enchanting.'' Conde Nast Traveller
