Made me realise I've been getting Barry Unsworth, Barry Hines and Barry Cunliffe mixed up for some years! 'After Hannibal' was very funny, set in an idyllic Umbrian village where the characters all share a dusty ancient road. I got the impression Barry Unsworth was taking revenge on characters based on his real-life neighbours in his own mediterranean village, with some horrible things happening to naive americans and brash english bankers instigate by cunning locals. I'm just getting ready for my 50th birthday in 3 days - a bit worried about how I will cope and recover on the Circle Line more than the cycle, which I'm not so worried about. Let's see how I feel this time next week.
