Because there, on his professionally transcribed page, is the question: ‘How old are you?’ Answered by Scobie with: ‘I’m 33, I just turned 33.’ To which Billen replies: ‘Wow, Omid. Which came as news to Billen when I checked with him. But we never discussed my date of birth.’ Meanwhile, Scobie’s book – which shot straight to the top of The Sunday Times book charts, selling 31,000 copies in the first five days of publication – is its own reward.ĭidn’t Billen ask him? ‘He referred to my birthday: July 4.’ But did Billen not ask how old Scobie was? ‘He was trying to insinuate that I was the same age as Andrew Morton, and I could see the path he was trying to go down. I would challenge anyone to find a negative story I’ve written about the Royal Family full stop since I started.’ Post- Finding Freedom, the Cambridges would probably not agree. There are a lot of people who say I only write positively about the Sussexes. But also to do it in an environment she felt safe in.’ And how did she know Scobie would provide that safe environment? ‘I guess my work spoke for itself – I was always careful what I reported.’ It is, he adds, something he enjoys about covering the royal beat for a US audience: the attitude in the States is ‘celebratory – I enjoy the more positive take on things.

They travelled through the Gobi Desert, Tibet, and the Himalayas to finally reach British India in the winter of 1942.

If you’ve heard of him in any other context, it’s probably because he provided Dorothy L Sayers with the plot of her non-Peter Wimsey crime novel, The Documents in the Case.

In the intro, Lili prefaces the collection by noting that poetry has always given her solace in knowing other people felt the same specific emotions that she did. After the first couple poems, I was completely hooked. I think I had almost no idea what it would be like or the topics it would cover. I'm not sure what I expected from Swimming Lessons. I've been excited for the chance to get to see something completely created a controlled by Lili. I've been a fan of Lili since Riverdale, and I've continued to be a fan of hers even when the show got a bit too ridiculous for me to keep watching every week. I've been anticipating Swimming Lessons so long that I can't believe it's actually in my hands. I've now read a graphic novel and a book of poetry. This is the first poetry book I've ever read in its entirety outside of Shel Silverstein, so I've checked off one of my reading goals for the year with this one. |
