Paths of Glory

[laughs] It's, it's-

Paths of Glory.

Thank you.

What? Paths of Glory?

Paths of Glory.

I was fascinated by this man who wanted to be the first person to conquer Everest in 1924.

If you think Chariots of Fire, that was the era he was in.

[laughs]

Uh, absolutely no doubt in the view.

I think A Prisoner of Birth, and I think, uh, also Paths of Glory, the story of Mallory.

Was he the first man in 1924 to reach the top of Everest? We know they found his body 700 foot from the top.

Was he on the way down or was he on the way up? The, uh, the critics have said that's my best book.

I, I, I'm still, um...

I, I actually particularly enjoy your, your, your, uh, I think the, the, the sort of one-off novels.

Um, I, I think one that, again, that we haven't talked about was Paths of Glory, which I absolutely love.

Um, but I, I, I want to actually, I, I was going to ask this question a bit later on, but we've had someone, um, ask this question, and it, it's one that, uh, our viewers did, uh, email across, which was about your short stories.
