An Interview With a Writer

[D_K_Moon]

In a conversation with another member of this forum one of my favorite characters came up. Rumpole of the Bailey.

Here's an interview with Sir John Mortimer QC CBE, the writer of the Rumpole stories. There's some interesting insight into the mind of writer in this two part interview.

I would have loved to have been able to spend a Sunday afternoon listening to him. I really liked his three stories within a story idea, I've actually tried that.

If you read the Rumpole stories, you see something slightly different.
Rumpole's an observer and a gentle hand on the tiller of events.
And a damned clever commentator. ("Ackerman on Blood")

My personal favorite and coincidentally, the highlight of Rumpole's legal career, "The Penge Bungalow Murders".

I think I've had to buy those books at least three times. I keep lending them out and never getting them back.

I know too many lawyers.
