Did you catch @mccloskey as Nick Harkaway's 'surprise questionner' on @BooksOfTheYear? Mayo jokes it sounds like David's being secretly transported in a troop carrier into Lebanon. And who does Harkaway refer all his real life spy questions to. ?

Working with @mccloskeybooks is a joy - if you haven't tried his writing yet, I recommend his Sunday Times bestseller The Seventh Floor, just out in paperback, and this column now up online, which gives a real sense of the man himself.
Bestselling novelist @mccloskeybooks reveals the author he thinks should be counted 'among the titans of the spy genre'. Read our full interview ⬇️

Authors make great spies, and spies & analysts make great authors (oh hello, @mccloskeybooks, @isberryauthor and more) so this is no surprise as my @spybrary friends will know. (Tho if I tag you all here, that rather defeats the point!) .

Congratulations @simonmontefiore ! Very well deserved - and all the more so as you're always so supportive of other writers and cultural thinkers.
Writers always bitch about prizes. Until they get one. Lovely to win this prize for ‘Words that Change’ - recent works - The World, The Romanovs and Jerusalem plus the novels Moscow Trilogy. Thanks so much @metropolis_blue .@AAKnopf @wnbooks @orionbooks @Ed_Critica
