[11]RJ Ellory on Human Dramas
Wednesday, December 22nd
Roger Ellory is a bestselling author whose recommendations include Annie
Proux, Stephen King and Truman Capote. There are, he says, no rules to great
writing. Reading The Shining as a quarantined orphan at boarding school with
chicken pox was a formative experience, he says...and not necessarily in a
good way.

Fairy tales are as relevant today as ever, says Professor Jack Zipes. They
