Quentin Letts: The Stakhanovite sketchwriter has found time to write a novel (photo: MattBr CC-BY-SA-3.0)
Quentin Letts must be the most prolific journalist in Britain. His devotion to duty makes the late Comrade Stakhanov look like one of the Drones Club’s more assiduous loafers. Not content with doubling up as the Daily Mail’s parliamentary sketchwriter and drama critic, he writes regular regular op-ed articles for the paper and fronts entertaining Radio 4 documentaries. Somehow he has now found time to write his first novel; but before discussing what the book is, it is worth saying what it isn’t.
