ars longa historia brevis

Richard has been shortlisted for the BBC Short Story Prize

Guidelines for Measures to Cope with Disgraceful and Other Events

‘This is no place to be weak,’ newly elected MEP Simon Vindolanda is warned by a colleague during his first week in Brussels. Simon laughingly ignores this advice – which is why his enthusiastic affair with perky Eva Kuznetsova is, one way or another, about to come to a very sticky end indeed.


So his story will feature on BBC Radio 4, and he'll be interviewed on the Today Programme on Monday 7th July. Yay!

    Congratulations to Richard! So that's what MEPs get up to.

    In the brief moments between collecting their attendance allowances and jetting off for long weekends. Allegedly.

    I heard the brief extract of Richard's story on the Today programme this morning, as well as his interview. It is certainly a very intriguing plot.

    Unfortunately I missed the broadcast of the adaptation of the story on "Afternoon Reading" at 3:30 pm, but I'm looking forward to catching up with the Listen Again service.

    Hi, Em!

    I thought it was really good. Though obviously I'm bound to say that... Richard was skulking in the British Library so he didn't have to listen. Wuss.

    *waves to Richard just in case he's reading...*
