Norman Lewis, whose travelogues are celebrated for their extraordinary attention to detail, rewrote his manuscripts with scrappy notes over earlier drafts, demonstrating a unique writing process.
Interviewing the writer, I found him at peace in an old rectory garden, though it belied his adventurous past filled with MI6 and CIA undercover work.
The resurgence of Lewis's work is thanks to Eland, ensuring his backlist is discovered and appreciated again, highlighting the significance of good publishing.
Julian Evans remarked that Lewis began to treat his past as a literary object, overlaying experiences with hindsight to create depth in his narratives.
