Sukhdev Sandhu has written a fascinating little book for all of you who love London, England. Called "Night Haunts: a journey thourgh the London night," it recounts Sandhu's year long observations of what goes on while most of London is asleep. He joins the avian police as they hover in London skies from 7 to 7; he visits the Nuns of Tyburn who pray through the night; he rides with bargers; he goes into subterranean London with flushers. I found the book amazing and revealing. I almost bypassed the interview and am so glad for my change of heart. I also had a nice time visiting with Sukhdev about his work as a film critic for the London Daily Telegraph. He divides his time between London and New York where he is a Professor of English Literature at NYU.
