Anyone know why Box Hill, novel thatâs the source of film Pillion, is out of print ? Iâd expected a movie tie in cover or at least a reprint ? It seems to make no sense but there must be a reason. In the absence of Box Hill I read Adam Mars Jones earlier Monopolies of Loss -what an excellent writer

Nice person asked me yesterday âhow do you feel about all the competition as a playwright?â. I surprised myself by saying âI donât think about competitors. I just do my own thingâ. Probably sounds a bit smug but I realised thatâs my honest feeling.
