It’s a useful handicap for Süskind to have, as it prevents critics from inserting him into any one school of thought. When he does speak, he seldom comments on his literary persona and claims to have such a poor memory that he can’t recall what he has read. Süskind has only allowed four interviews throughout his career (and the only English-language one I could find was with the New York Times in 1986 ). ![]() Despite its success, Perfume was the only novel the writer ever published.

When he began his career, his radical viewpoint was a change from the conventional and often jingoistic tone of most children's literature of the time, and he was one of the first authors who deliberately set out to appeal to both boys and girls and to feature strong leading characters of both sexes. His ground-breaking study Tales Out of School (1949) pioneered the idea that children's literature should be a serious subject for study and debate. ![]() Trease's children's historical novels reflect his insistence on historically correct backgrounds, which he meticulously researched. He is best known for the children's novel Cue for Treason (1940). His grandfather was a historian, and was one of the main influences on his work. His work has been translated into 20 languages. ![]() (Robert) Geoffrey Trease FRSL (11 August 1909 – 27 January 1998) was a prolific British writer who published 113 books, mainly for children, between 19, starting with Bows Against the Barons and ending with Cloak for a Spy in 1997. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Greenfield claims to find the controversy that followed inexplicable: “The reaction by the international print and broadcast media to this seemingly bland and logical statement was out of all proportion to its content.

There are two different accounts of what happens next. As Harris concludes his opening remarks, the Baroness of Ot Moor, Susan Greenfield, rises to her feet to make a statement.

The prologue details a low point, marked by awkward silences and the authors’ frustration with each other, when they realized that “even deep, lasting friendships like ours need protection - and, sometimes, repair.” But the work also points out that a big friendship, like a big romantic relationship, requires serious maintenance if you want it to last a lifetime. ![]() That led to their podcast, Call Your Girlfriend, a weekly gabfest about pop culture (and anything else that springs to mind), and now, their new book, Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close, about the life-affirming wonderfulness of fulfilling nonromantic connections like theirs.
