#FavouriteBooks by a specific #writer: my favourite book by "#JohnCHRISTOPHER" was "A Palace of Strangers", written under the writer's real name , "#SamYOUD" (note: NOT "Samuel!). I discovered it after many others by this author, and highly recommend it. #SubtlyMelancholic.
@tripodscast @TheSYLEPress Some of #SamYoud pseudonyms other than #JohnChristopher have proved harder-to-find, but I have a few #PeterGraaf #AnthonyRye #HilaryFord #StanleyWinchester in my collection😀
@kaggsy59 The World in Winter by #SamYoud (writing as #JohnChristopher) is my intended read for the #1962Club, Karen! And perhaps the odd Borges story from Labyrinths... 🙂

‘It always seems strange to me that snow should be associated with the pleasures of young men and women. In Russia, snow is a more serious business; our daily lives are conditioned by it.’

‘Where do you live?’
‘A place with carpets in the lobby and a goddam elevator.’
‘Give it up,’ Hibson told him. ‘Rent a couple of rooms up under the roof. Play the accordion. Put grain on the window ledges for the pigeons.’
