the day his grandfather introduced him to the poetry of Thomas Hardy. He can remember the day he learnt he would be becoming the deputy chief of staff to a US colonel in Baghdad. He never imagined the two events would one day be linked. Yet here we are, sitting in a quiet London cafe where the only conflict is whether to have an americano or a cappuccino, talking about war, love and death and what draws them together in his writing.
