TONY PARSONS Self-styled cheeky
Essex boy and working
class hero, Tony Parsons, first
sprung to fame as a punk journalist, sharing life on the road (and much else besides) with the Sex Pistols. Since then, he‘s spouted words of dubious wisdom in everything from The Daily Telegraph to Marie Claire, and perhaps most famously on BBC2’s Newsnight Review. His fourth. bitter-sweet novel, The Family Way, follows the lives of three sisters, all with very different attitudes to starting a family. It asks the crucial question, ‘can a woman be truly fulfilled without having a baby?’ Can
she, Julie Burchill? (Phil Muncaster)
