The Indispensable - Softcover

Rare essays, shorts stories, reviews and even the complete novel, 'Lying In State'. Julian Rathbone has published over thirty novels in sixteen different languages, been shortlisted (twice) for the Booker, won a Crime Writers' Association dagger and his thrillers have won prestigious prizes in Germany and Denmark. Reviewers have compared him - to his advantage - with Graham Greene, Eric Ambler, John Updike, Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, John le Carre and William Burroughs. On top of that he's an accomplished reviewer and essayist, and has written successful film screenplays.
