Rupert Thomson


We met in Hay on Wye
And there cavorted day and night
And - not to be showy -
But I’d read his novel The Insult, as had David Bowie
(Who chose it as one of the
100 Must-Read Books of All Time -
I’ve no idea of the other 99)
But my favourites are Death of A Murderer
and Katherine Carlyle
In fact, I’m a Thomsonophile:
