'In Cold ink'

Tracing the blurred line between life and literature has taken David Robinson to places as far afield as west Kansas and the edge of the Kalahari. It has also taken him on journeys of discovery into the minds of some of the most gifted writers alive. This collection of wonderful essays and interviews based on his articles in The Scotsman' is a record of those fascinating encounters - a book that starts in a couple of dozen other books and takes the reader on the road to even more. £9.99 in selected bookstores or from www.amazon.co.uk or www.birlinn.co.uk
