Notes on a Voice

A style that mixes pathos and bathos

A teeming graphic world where nothing is left to chance

Tuning into the poet who made English sing

His work throngs with clamorous alter egos

The pitch-perfect chronicler of a world that never existed

A Canadian novelist with a “prodigious output”

How to write like the world’s most famous dramatist

As the spywriter’s first novel turns 50, Emma Hogan gives away his secrets

Simon Willis unpicks a Nobel laureate’s lean and menacing prose style

The playwright who reinvented theatre, while rarely going to it
