:07:00
My private address,
if I can ever be of assistance.
:07:05
Thank you.
:07:12
Are your books in any way autobiographical?
:07:16
Totally.
:07:17
What an exciting life you must have had,
even better than Frank Harris.
:07:22
Oh, Frank was a novice.
:07:23
You have my card.
Don 't hesitate to touch me.
:07:53
Yes, I remember that day all right.
:07:56
Around noon I'd collected the manuscript
of my latest novel, The Organ Grinder.
:08:02
I should have realised something was up.
:08:05
A man had been tailing me for over two weeks.
:08:08
I thought my wife must have employed
a private dick.
:08:14
I did ask him, but he got upset.
:08:16
He was too big to upset twice,
so I tried to ignore him,
:08:20
which in this case was difficult.
:08:41
Later I was to find
out who he was, that tame gorilla
:08:45
who followed my everywhere.
:08:51
I rode a cab round to my publisher,
:08:53
Milos Marcovic,
the Greco-Albanian born in Budapest,
:08:57
whose talent for writing book covers is such
even the author doesn't recognise his own work.
