The Truth

Neil Strauss

“Whatever they are now, or may be in the future, the Rolling Stones, when they were young, put themselves in jeopardy many times, because of who they were, what they were, how they lived, what they believed”

The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones

Stanley Booth

“The old drunk told me about trout fishing. When he could talk, he had a way of describing trout as if they were a precious and intelligent metal”

Trout Fishing in America

Richard Brautigan

“Acting to me was, and is, straightforward: you see the words on the page; memorise; then say them out loud. (With radio, you don’t even have to memorise them)”

Toast on Toast

Steven Toast

“Letters have the power to grant us a larger life. They reveal motivation and deepen understanding. They are evidential. They change lives, and they rewire history”

To the Letter

Simon Garfield

“We're all in sales now”

To Sell is Human
