From his Q & A with Anna Metcalfe for the Financial Times:
Where do you write best?Read the complete Q & A.
At home for the most part but when stuck I resort to a laptop in a coffee shop – the busier the better.
What is the strangest thing you’ve done when researching a book?
The strangest are life experiences that turn into research. For Zero History I participated in the brainstorming of a new brand, for a clothing manufacturer involved in military contracting.
What are you scared of?
Racism, sexism, nationalism, tribalism, fundamentalism (about anything at all), the excesses of religion, self-satisfied ignorance.
