He was in Tonbridge to give a reading and stayed the night with our family. I was sixteen and very shy. Six years later, in 2000, we met again in Australia. He was in Perth for work and I was there playing cricket. I called his hotel and said, “Vikram, it’s Edward Smith, Jonathan Smith’s son. Would you like to have dinner with me this evening?” ‹at night we talked for hours about books and music. It was wonderful. Vikram’s a serious person, but he’s also intelligent, creative and sometimes very funny. We only see each other from time to time, but reading Vikram’s books, listening to him, getting to know him – it’s a really great experience. Whenever we meet it’s the same way again, we talk and talk – about books, music, funny and sad events in our lives. 1 When did Ed meet Vikram? How old was Ed?
