Being filmed
“I’m currently – even as I write this – being filmed. There’s a camera on me, being  held and pointed by a tall, pleasant, smiling young man called Patrick. Crouched beside him Margy, the director, holds a  metal box with a screen in it which shows her what Patrick the cameraman is filming. Behind Patrick stands Andy, a shortish young man, also generally smiling, who is recording the sounds of my typewriter, the keys of which are clogged from months of disuse.  I am in my study, at my desk, at my typewriter, pretending to be me…” (The Year of the Jouncer; Granta, 2006)
