Notes on a Nervous Planet
The follow-up to the number one Sunday Times bestseller Reasons to Stay Alive
“Haig is adamant that ‘one of the uses of the arts is to keep us sane’, and that ‘reading is a route out of yourself’. He is almost evangelical about the power of reading to do good. ‘I think books can save us and I think they sort of saved me,’ he says.”
