Born in London in 1962, only 17 years after the end of World War II, the author grew up against a backdrop of 60s and 70s London, from flower power to walking on the moon, punk rock to the IRA bombings, a canvass developed with a sharp eye for 'the human condition'. 'It is not that right and wrong, good and evil, are not considerations; it is only that they remain the purview of humankind alone in all the cosmos.'
