Author Peter Ackroyd talks to Matthew Stadlen about the diverse nature of his work, the importance of time, and his fascination with London. Amazing what you can fit into five minutes. Do listen! This is one of the great writers of our age, with his novels, histories, and biographies, including an exceptional one on Dickens, and one on his favourite city, London: https://www.amazon.co.uk/London-Biography-Peter-Ackroyd/dp/0099422581/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=peter+ackroyd&qid=1682347789&sprefix=peter+ack%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-3
Ackroyd has a phenomenal mind; he manages to garner encyclopedic knowledge of his subjects, and rework it into a brilliantly imaginative vision.
