today, by a rather circuitous route, i came to read an interview with nicholas shakespeare about the background to his novel ‘the dancer upstairs’. the article, which originally appeared in the buenos aires herald in 1994, is quite fascinating and i’d recommend it to anyone who, like me, is nostalgic for the days when the prospect of joining what would now be termed ‘a terrorist group’ seemed almost attractive – or at least preferable to joining normal society. the interview is here. and i recommend the film made from shakespeare’s novel: http://imdb.com/title/tt0118926/
