Craig Brown’s One on One was chosen as their ‘book of the year’ by, among many others, Julian Barnes, Polly Samson, A N Wilson, Philip Hensher and Miranda Seymour. It is a joyous daisy-chain of 101 true encounters between the famous and the infamous (Rudyard Kipling meets Mark Twain meets Helen Keller meets Martha Graham meets Madonna, etc). 

‘It is partly a karmic parlour game, partly a dance to the music of chaos – and only the genius of Craig Brown could have produced it.’ Hermione Eyre, Evening Standard.

Brown, a critic and satirist, probably best known for his work in Private Eye, is joined by Eleanor Bron, stage, film and television actress and author, and by Simon Callow, acclaimed actor, writer and theatre director. Bron and Callow will be reading the parts of Marilyn Monroe, Nikita Khrushchev, The Queen Mother, TS Eliot and many others.
