History

I've been reading some reviews and looking up Michael Frayn and his story Spies. Apparently he wrote another novel called 'Headlong'. The review says that it is unclear whether or not Frayn deliberately intended the story to be so slow but that in the last 50 pages, the pace becomes a lot more rapid and everything is resolved. Apparently there are some good twists and turns but I didnt read them and am still waiting to find out.
The author, Michael Frayn began his writing career in 1962 and is still a relatively active author. He has held several occupations such as a reporter, columnist, novelist, playwright, and screenwriter and has worked for some famous newspapers such as the Guardian and the Observer. Typically, his publications are in the genres of farce and historical fiction. He has written many novels, plays, non-fictitious works, and has earned multiple awards.
