ABOUT THE AUTHOR (DECEASED)

Marina Tsvetaeva was born in Moscow in 1891 and had established her reputation as a poet by the age of eighteen. She had a troubled life, in exile for many years: the only continuity was poetry and her loyalty to individual poets. Returning to Russia in 1939, her family was quickly torn apart by Stalin’s purges: they were suspected of working against the Soviet government. When war came she was evacuated to Yelabuga, where she hanged herself in 1941.

SALES POINTS

• NB by J. C. is a varied and witty selection from the popular NB column which J. C. wrote in the TLS each week between 1997 and 2020

• NB was a diary column in which J. C. took an off-centre, off-beat look at literary life - not so much the glamorous literary world as the hidden corners

• The column acted as a “hygiene inspector”(Seamus Heaney’s words) and was quick to single out and praise cultural depth

• It was also irreverent and whimsical, puncturing pomposity, hypocrisy and cant in the literary world

• NB also occupied a self-created world, where literary prizes were given out for “incomprehensibility”, the year’s most unoriginal title, and the “All Must Have Prizes Prize”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

James Campbell was an editor for many years at the TLS, where he also wrote the paper’s NB column. His books include Invisible Country: A Journey through Scotland, Talking at the Gates: A Life of James Baldwin, This Is the Beat Generation, and, most recently, Just Go Down to the Road: A Memoir of Trouble and Travel.
