Articles

Since the early 1990s, I’ve written over 300 articles, mainly in British papers and journals, but also in the Spanish and Catalan press.

Manuel Vázquez Montalbán once graded literary genres. Poets (of course) were the noblest writers. Necrologists, vultures chewing over the dead, came in last in the list. I’ve written some 70 obituaries for The Guardian.

Here are links to a few recent articles.
