I've read everything. I've read everything twice. There is one writer I don't think you over here have heard of -- Shelagh Delaney, who came from Manchester in the late '50s. The most famous thing she wrote -- at the age of 19 -- was ''A Taste Of Honey''. It was made into a hugely successful motion picture. She has inspired me more than anybody. I also have a vast collection of Oscar Wilde. I find him endlessly fascinating. I found a first edition here, it cost me $35. | I've read everything. I've read everything twice.
