Former bus driver, Magnus Mills, on his first novel The Restraint of Beasts:Yes, once I started I knew it'd be published because, you see, if you are going to believe in a book that much, you've got to be prepared to publish it yourself if no one else will.If you haven't read The Restraint of Beasts (shortlisted for the Booker 1998), do track down a copy, particularly if you have a fascination for high-tension fencing.
I almost choked laughing.
