Britton rizzio biography of michael lewis

Wonderful story. Thanks for elaborating on your connection to Lewis and telling us all that will never meet him a little bit more about the man behind the books and the ideas. Thank you for writing about the extraordinarily innovative Michael Lewis. I hope his last years were comfortable. A great article and moving too. For example, he defines the use of some and any more accurately than any of the grammar books I have on my shelves.

He can write too, which makes a change. I remember Michael manning the LTP book stand or trestle table alone and still speaking at conferences. I guess we had several meals because OUP reps liked him and invited him along to the OUP authors and editors dinner at a conference even though LTP was technically the opposition — he had written for OUP briefly and unsuccessfully.

I can remember Michael sending Italian academic gurus into rage with his explanations and me agreeing with him. Editors, reps and authors afterwards asked me who he was. It comes to us all in the end.

I shall make a note to avoid Brighton then. Hi Peter. Thanks very uch for taking the time to write and share these memories.
