01 (Intro)If God exists then he's a fake, or more likely a foot!
02 On RAH.
03 Christopher.
04 Self-sacrifice, the person sacrifices himself for another person.
05 On Mussolini.
06 On deciding to write novels.
07 On The Sayings of the Desert Fathers.
08 On Jung.
09 On Schizophrenia.
10 On Vonnegut.

  9. It finally came to me -- this must have been the interview for the Sunday supplement to the London Times. I don't remember the interviewer's name, but David James did the photography.
