EXTRACT: You can never tell how the night will go. Scripts, rehearsals, fly out of the window. You need that first laugh, the uncontrollable burst of the bubble.... The waiting is like a death, a drowning in indifference. And when it comes - a resurrection. For him. And for me? A reprieve.

EXTRACT: that day I met you in the supermarket. I had been replacing my library. Two books a week that's all I can afford. Paperbacks. My father had decided that the time had come to expunge all the books in the house....Aristotle, Racine. Dickens. Kafka. Goethe. heine. Rilke - all the poets. There was no discrimination. Beckett. When I entered the room he was attacking the complete works of Shakespeare with what looked like wicked delight. The history plays.

EXTRACT: I have a psychic streak. You drink black coffee and empty the excess - so. Swirl it around three times, upend it, wait for the dregs to unveil their mysteries. Shoes - an invitation. Boats and planes - news from afar. Dogs - friends will contact you. Cats - trouble afoot.
