Underground London: Travels Beneath the City Streets
LONDON UNDER
The Secret History Beneath the Streets
By Peter Ackroyd
小說家兼傳記作者彼得・阿克羅伊德（Peter Ackroyd ) 從早上七點寫到晚上九點，期間常常半睡半醒地躺著，之後便開始豪飲。《衛報》稱他是「作品的數量跟他的酗酒一樣多」
這是英國作家安德魯・考恩在《寫小說的藝術》中的一段話。阿克羅伊德頗像倫敦東區黑幫大哥，也是英倫排行前幾名的書評家，地位崇高。過去，推出《莎士比亞傳》之前，出版社就預付他四十萬英鎊！他早年推出《T S 艾略特傳》一炮而紅，內容提到艾略特的媽媽年輕時，認為自己寫不出好詩，是失敗的詩人，便從小培養兒子寫詩，日後他不負家人的期望！
