Delaney has been running for around two months now. My viewing figures are dropping and, to my knowledge, no-one has ever bought a copy of DANNY because they’ve read Delaney. Or any other book I’ve ever given away. So I’m not. Giving it away. As it says on today’s tag line, I am able but [...]

My typist and I recently fell out after a profitable and amicable 7 year relationship. Was this because of irreconcilable differences? No. It was because of niceness.
My typist had a grandson coming to stay over the summer, just as I asked her to proofread DANNY 3/1. She didn’t want to do this because her grandson [...]

Delaney turned his back on him and walked away. He found the buffet table and got himself another drink. There were some odd little sandwiches there. He tried one; it tasted of oily fish. He peered inside – looked like salmon. He closed it again and ate it, helped himself to another. The wine was nice. A couple of the women were watching him curiously, wondering who he was, trying to fit him with Jonathan.

they are nothing alone
beware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average

He felt aware of Frank Delaney’s intentness beside him. Did the boy do everything like this? Either total indifference or total absorption. Christ, he’d be wearing to live with. He felt sorry for the legendary Nan. It explained how fast he picked things up though. He’d never seen concentration like it. Maybe he was nothing but a mimic. Well, the hell with that. Most dancers these days weren’t even that, God help them. To quote his aunt, they couldn’t emote their way out a paper bag.

The boy never faltered. He didn’t always get it right, but he got it better. He had the awkward leg movements better. His body angled better but, more importantly, the damn thing looked better on him. Like it had been written for him. Which of course it had, hadn’t it? It had been written for a body just like his. And here it was. The body.
