PROLOGUE
'Like a wolf on the fold.' In recounting the Syrian attack on the Israeli-held Golan Heights at 1400 local time on Saturday, October 6th, 1973, most commentators automatically recalled Lord Byron's famous line. There is also little doubt that that is precisely what the more literarily...

Near Coconut Grove, Florida
Late May, on toward evening of the perfect boater's day. In the distance, hovering over the Biminis, a towering bank of cumulus reflecting the last pink glow of the sun. Stretched out just ahead, the waters of Biscayne Bay. Going steely now. Soon to be indigo, along...
Prologue
The lieutenant pushed his fork back and forth across the table, back and forth, back and forth, his eyes vacant, his mind and heart a thousand galaxies away.
Scrape . scrape . . . scrape.
"For heaven's sake, Chris, will you stop that? It's driving me crazy!"
The lieutenant...

Sunset, Sunrise
In retrospect, it would seem an odd way to start a war. Only one of the participants knew what was really happening, and even that was a coincidence. The property settlement had been moved up on the calendar due to a death in the attorney's family, and so the attorney...
PACKING UP
What do we take? What do we leave? What do we stack in the front yard and invite strangers to disparage? We never meant to hoard possessions, never intended to sully our nest with unnecessary stuff, but somehow over the years it silently stockpiled, filling comers, drawers, attics,...
The Bear-Human Connection
Humans have a longstanding affinity for bears, maybe because bears, like humans, are built to be upright, at least part of the time. Because bears can stand up and look us in the eye, we tend to humanize them—pretend that they think our thoughts and talk our...

PREFACE
At no other time in our history has the need to understand the environment been more urgent. The sophistication, magnitude and diversity of the ways in which we alter the biosphere continues to grow, often in advance of our ability to deal with any resulting side-effects; the...
The Plaza de Toros in Ibiza is a typical small-town bullring, a concrete circle, benches ringed around, average bulls, toreros desperate to make their bones. It was unbearably hot even on the shady side at four o'clock in the afternoon as Dillon waited at the barrera. /Is the President led the...

The track in the woods was a wide causeway to the two boys strolling down it. Both were so dirty with thick, black mud as to be almost unrecognisable as human. The taller of the two had blue eyes that seemed unnaturally bright against the cracking, itching mud that plastered...

Mainly Concerning Books
'Books!' said Tuppence.
She produced the word rather with the effect of a bad-tempered explosion.
'What did you say?' said Tommy. Tuppence looked across the room at him. 'I said "books"; she said. 'I see what you mean,' said Thomas Beresford. In front of...

Early in 1988 I was on my way to Japan to spend six months teaching at a university in Kyoto. I decided to visit Burma en route. It was a place I had long wanted to see, my interest being compounded out of the Kipling associations attaching to the name 'Mandalay' and from...

The day Richard's death announcement appeared in the Manchester Evening Chronicle, I knew I couldn't postpone clearing up the mess any longer. But there was something I had to do first. I stood in the doorway of the living room of the man who'd been my lover for three years, Polaroid in hand,...

'Do you have a problem acknowledging that your lifetime's work has counted for nothing?'
The words are spoken by a well-dressed overweight man with thinning sandy hair, solicitous expression, and distant eyes. He is sitting next to two men at a conference table in front of a tall narrow window...
Eat the Cold Porridge
'You must eat the cold porridge,' he told me once.
It's a Chinese expression. Cantonese, I guess, because although he carried an old-fashioned blue British passport and was happy to call himself an Englishman, he was born in Hong Kong and sometimes you could tell that all...
There was always the story in any gathering in Lim-erick. Be it boys, girls, the men, the women, bald facts were considered cold and inhuman; therefore all storied events had to be wrapped in words. Warm words, serried words, glittering, poetic, harsh, and even blasphemous words.
So the cold...

Choking, dense, impenetrable, the black smoke lay pall-like over the dying city. Every building, every office-block and house, the intact and the bomb-shattered alike, was invested by it, swathed in the dark anonymity of its gently swirhng cocoon. Every street, every alley, every dock-side...
