Chapter OneAt my age I'm about as far from childhood as it's possible to be. I'm nearer toppling off the peg than joining in adolescent games, but there was one case which gave me an alarming and, I hope, interesting insight into the world of the youth of today.It began when one of Hilda's innumerable relatives, her niece Cynthia, a student at Oxford, was taking part in a performance of The Messiah and sent an invitation to Hilda saying that she wished we would both come. Naturally I did my best to have an important legal fixture on the date specified, but work was as plentiful as Manhattan cocktails in the desert.

The power of his books is place. The 43-year-old's Boston is a city at war with itself: in Mystic River, his most successful novel, an old working-class neighbourhood churns beneath gentrification.
