Christopher Koch is interviewed by Claire Allfree for "The Metro", a daily tabloid newspaper given away free in London. The interview concerns his latest novel, The Memory Room, which has just been published in the UK:
Setting human dramas against pivotal moments in history is a Koch speciality. He is best known for The Year Of Living Dangerously, about an Australian journalist caught up in the attempted overthrow of Indonesia's president Sukarno in 1965, which was turned into a film starring Mel Gibson. 'That book was my lucky break,' he grins. 'I've never done an honest day's work since.'
