@basile Yes, I had a lovely chat with him and he even took a photo of me which I was too shy to ask for — I wish I had! Now it’ll be in his archive somewhere 😩

@basile a friend was in conversation with him for the Lahore literary festival a few years ago, that’s where I met him. His insights into his work were fascinating! Incidentally his wife ended up at a party I threw the next year 🙈
