None Of Us Is Normal - Times Feature: Mark Haddon
Mark Haddon, quoted explaining his lack of excitement due to his long wait for success, in Times feature. Perhaps his Whitbread triumph will have helped unjam the plumbing.
?It?s rather like needing a pee on a long coach journey,? he says cheerfully. ?If you get to the service station in time, it?s fantastic and you pee like a stallion. If the service station is slightly too far, the plumbing just jams. It?s like that for me: it?s hard to get excited because I?ve passed the service station.?
