About the Author:
Michael Frayn was born in London in 1933 and began his career as a journalist on the Guardian and the Observer. His novels include Towards the End of the Morning, Headlong, Spies and Skios. His seventeen plays range from Noises Off, recently chosen as one of the nation's three favourite plays, to Copenhagen, which won the 1998 Evening Standard Award for Best Play of the Year and the 2000 Tony Award for Best Play. He is married to the writer Claire Tomalin.
Review:
   · "A sublimely funny comedy about the way newspapers try to put lives into words." --Spectator 

   · "Towards the End of the Morning certainly keeps you laughing, but the jokes illuminate the characters and their destinies with a clarity that makes you miss a heartbeat after the laughs." --The Times 

   · "Still ranks with Evelyn Waugh's Scoop as one of the funniest novels about journalists ever written." --Sunday Times 

   · "The most delightful, sophisticated novel: Michael Frayn is probably England's funniest writer." --New York Times 

   · "A gem of a comic book. It's a brilliant, fast game of poker with the author holding all the best hands." --Vogue
