The purpose of this website is to enable me to share ideas about writing, including reviews of books and even films that may have a bearing on the craft of writing. My credentials, in case you’re wondering, are that I’ve been having articles and books published since 1990.
In this post I preview two books which you may be interested in. One is a series of autobiograohical stories, beautifully written, while the other comprises six writers explaining why they did what they did in their short story included in the book.
That’s the name of a one-day course I will be teaching at the City Lit on 13 June 2026. It’s already half full.
I’m reviewing these together partly because I have a separate review of each one being published in Teach Secondary magazine next month, and partly because they are both concerned with the same subject matter: the Nazi era.
I submitted my review of this book to Teach Secondary magazine, an educational magazine in the UK. The first review is what the magazine published. The second one is what I actually wrote! In substantive terms there is little difference between the two, but you may find it interesting to see what the editor altered.
