In 1988 Hugo Williams began to pen his 'Freelance' column for the
Times Literary Supplement: a window that allowed him to exhibit the
full panoply of his gifts as travel writer, literary portraitist,
working poet, and all-round chronicler of the curious existence of
the contemporary writer. Freelancing is a collection of these TLS
columns that finds Williams variously in Sarajevo, Central America,
Jerusalem, Skyros, Portugal and Norwich. In the course of events he
sees his Selected Poems published, his mother dies, his wife
inherits a chateau and he crashes his motorbike. He reads and
teaches, as most poets do, but also strolls through Paris dressed
as Marlene Dietrich, encounters some of the great and good, and
explores his personal history. His account of these adventures,
reflections and discoveries is elegantly turned, frequently
hilarious, and at times surprisingly poignant.
