About me

My name is Andreas Kluth and I am three things in life: husband/dad, correspondent for The Economist, and aspiring book author.

On this blog, I’ll be writing mostly about the book (out some time in 2010) and the process of writing it, as well as writing and language in general. For the next few months, I probably won’t give away too much from the plot itself, but nearer to publication, you can expect me to open up a lot more.

I’ll also take occasional detours into stuff related to The Economist. Occasionally, I may get just plain wacky.

Hopefully I’ll hear in the comments from anybody who’s interested, in the book or in other things that come up. I’ll be especially grateful for suggestions about good biographies of lives that, in your opinion, fit some of the themes in the book.
