James.
His books have featured on Guardian and Observer Books of the Year lists, and include SMOKING IN BED: CONVERSATIONS WITH BRUCE ROBINSON and STORY AND CHARACTER: INTERVIEWS WITH BRITISH SCREENWRITERS, both for Bloomsbury; HAMPTON ON HAMPTON for Faber & Faber; THE ART OF SCREEN ADAPTATION: TOP WRITERS REVEAL THEIR CRAFT for Creative Essentials; and THE MIRROR AND THE ROAD: CONVERSATIONS WITH WILLIAM BOYD, for Penguin.
