The Editor's Wife

Product Information

Now, did my 14 to 17 year-old self really believe for a minute that any of these "letters" or "true" articles were anything more than fantasy? He does seem a rather resilient fellow, taking all these vicissitudes in his strides – although some of them were some distance in the past, to be fair – and fills his days with walking, riding, fishing and entertaining his ex-wife with whom he has managed to maintain a close friendship. The secondary characters, Gerald and Carol, and Christopher’s relationships with them – some of the dialogue between them was wonderfully judged!

Memories of Mr. Magazine Wellred Weekly: Vol. 2, No. 1 - Memories of Mr. Magazine

Chambers published eight novels over 20 years but, as she told the Evening Standard, “They never really hit the big time at all.Chambers moves further back in time for this novel which roused readers and critics in 2020 with its compassionate portrayal of isolated people who were the victim of the times they lived in, with Jean’s list of small pleasures becoming as much of a favourite passage as the Cool Girl monologue in Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Editors released their third album In This Light and on This Evening on 12 October 2009, which marked a stylistic transition to a more electronic-influenced sound. At this particular time, the magazine usually had at least two spanking letters - one being a fairly short letter, usually reacting to an earlier letter or otherwise commenting on something in the magazine, and then a much longer, multi-page letter describing in vivid detail the spanking of teenage daughters, wives, secretaries or other erring females. On the first recording sessions of the album, Smith stated that it had been "a long, hard couple of years and it got pretty dark because whenever we tried creating new songs it wasn’t good enough. With similar acclaim coming Chambers’ way, it’s a delightful result all round, both for her and the lucky reader who has plenty to catch up on, some suggestions of which follow here.

An equally well received second album, An End Has a Start, followed on 25 June 2007, which included singles such as " Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors" and the eponymous track. Gerald, possibly with some form of learning difficulty, is semi-vagrant and semi-squatting in their father’s house after his death and delaying the inevitable sale of the property was a delight. The warm reception for the album was exemplified by the band's nomination for the Mercury Prize in 2006. Ok, perhaps the ending was a bummer, but at least the article was in the same galaxy as my interest.Smith has also expressed admiration for performers such as Bruce Springsteen (whom he described as "a legendary artist who's still got that magic he started with"), Mogwai (a favourite since he was a teenager), Prefab Sprout, and Peter Gabriel (overcoming his initial skepticism that Gabriel made "music for your dad").
