Interesting.

I know who he is...I've read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time".  Had no idea he was one of us.

Best,

I had no idea. I've read 'Curious Incident' and another one he wrote called 'A Spot of Bother'.

Did you just stumble upon this Tony?

I have not heard of him, I might have to go investigate a bit more. Is he any good?

"Curious Incident" is very good.  Written from the point of view of a boy with Asperger's syndrome.

Here's a review, if you'd care to take a look:

It got quite a bit of critical attention.  I haven't read his book of poetry, nor have I read "A Spot of Bother".  I may do so now.  

Best,

George
