Belated thanks to Yvonne and Lindsay for this quote:
from TURTLE DIARY
A frightening thought had been growing in me. I'd always assumed that I was the central character in my own story but now it occurred to me that I might in fact be only a minor character in someone else's. Miss Neap's perhaps. And I didn't even know the story.
Have duly posted copies at the University Graduate Centre in Cambridge (one by the computer room, in case anyone is inspired to rush in and check the addresses straight away...) That's Cambridge, UK, and the Grad Pad which looks over Laundress' Green and the Mill Pond. And I am an administrator working at the Board of Graduate Studies in Mill Lane, in another part of which a sign proudly announces: 'University of ambridge'. Which, as any ful kno, is the home of Phil, Jill, David, Ruth, Kenton, Shula, Elizabeth etc etc...
Wot larks!

In 2005 the first international convention for Russell Hoban fans took place in London, and was marked by the publication of a fantastic 48-page booklet featuring exclusive contributions from innumerable fans and associates including novelist David Mitchell and actress Glenda Jackson. A wonderful memento of the event, it's also a beautiful collector's item and must-have for any Hoban fan. Although in limited supply, copies of the booklet are still available at £6.00 each plus p&p. Order direct from
To celebrate 30 years in print of Russell Hoban's most famous novel
