Notes from a small flat - curator, writer, Bradfordian, person of faith.
He prized in a writer⌠a âsense of style and language.â [Adding] he had certain stipulations before championing a manuscript. âFor nonfiction, a subject I am interested in and the conviction that the writer is tops in his field. For fiction, I want to fall in love.â
