New article on Walter Greenwood's first ever press interview, 1933. The headline: 'Idle Days Turned to Money' must have been the least flattering he ever had, but he still managed to tell how an unemployed man became an author: https://t.co/qsFk6YggIE

@andrewhankinson @BacklistedPod Hello Andrew - Well, I'm not that much on Twitter, but wanted to thank Backlist people. Enjoyed your enthusiasm for the novel, and your readings from it.

@Morris__Bright @DerrenLitten I've just written something about Thira Hird's friendship with Walter Greenwood. She really enjoyed appearing in two of his plays in the 50s and 60s.

@kovesi1 @EnglishSalford @DrMagennis Hello - you might be interested in my web/blog site about what Greenwood did after Love on the Dole (before his death in 1974 he wrote another ten books, and also plays and film-scripts, mainly about working-class life): https://t.co/yChMNpeLk4
