'Jonathan Raban is the only person I listen to in matters of travel
and books and writing in general. Reading him, talking to him as I
have over fifty years, he has made my work better and me happier.'
Paul Theroux 'For Love and Money ... is as good a book as there is
about the writing life. Delighted that it will be safeguarded in
print by Eland.' Tim Hannigan This collection of writing undertaken
for love and money is about books and travel, and makes for an
engrossing and candid exploration of what it means to live from
writing. Jonathan Raban weighs up the advantages of maintaining an
independent spirit against problems of insolvency and self-worth,
confesses to travel as an escape from the blank page, ponders the
true art of the book review, admires the role of the literary
editor and remembers with affection and hilarity events from his
eccentric life at the heart of literary London. Reading it is like
embarking on a humane, rigorous and witty conversation.
