David Gilmour
When I was moved over to the arts section, four years ago, the first author I interviewed was David Gilmour, who had just published a book called The Film Club. It was a small book about his relationship with his son Jesse. At the time, neither of us had any idea that it would eventually sell over half a million copies around the world. I sat down with David again, recently, to talk about his newest book, The Perfect Order of Things, which I think is one of the best novels published this year.
