Did anyone go? I'm reading his book Havoc...something something.... and it's excellent so far - gripping, tightly written, a cross between Banville for sharp, delicate observation and Eco for thrilleriness.

I think it's important for writers to have mentors, and to listen with great attention to what the best are writing. Hearing good writers read their work is a brilliant tuning mechanism, as well as an inspiration.

Couldn't go myself, mind, because I had to be up at five to get on a plane.
