In mid-career, Michael Frayn took up his old trade of journalism,
and wrote a series of occasional articles for the Observer about
some of the places in the world that interested him. He wanted to
describe 'not the extraordinary but the ordinary, the typical, the
everyday', and his accounts became the starting point for some of
the novels and plays he wrote later. From a kibbutz in Israel to
summer rains in Japan, bicycles in Cambridge to Notting Hill at the
end of the 1950s, they are glimpses of a world that sometimes seems
tantalisingly familiar, sometimes vanished forever. Michael Frayn
is the celebrated author of fifteen plays including Noises Off,
Copenhagen and Afterlife. His bestselling novels include Headlong,
which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, Spies, which won
the Whitbread Best Novel Award and Skios, which was longlisted for
the Man Booker Prize. "All writers of fiction should be required by
law to go out and do a bit of reporting from time to time, just to
remind them how different the real world in front of their eyes is
from the invented world behind them." Michael Frayn 'Whether he's
on a kibbutz or a bicycle, Frayn makes acute observations and the
writing is enchanting.' Conde Nast Traveller
