In my everyday life and in the books I’ve written, I have always been drawn to true stories that are routinely labelled “stranger than fiction.” Anecdotage (a word defined by the Collins Dictionary as “anecdotes collectively”) gives you free access to a regular series of stories of this type—stories I enjoy telling friends and acquaintances. But the big difference between these and most anecdotes is that these really happened. They haven’t been embellished by a half-drunk pal who has told them twenty times before.

I’m the author of five nonfiction books as well as occasional journalism. My books include “Members Only” (2010), which was adapted into a movie called “The Look of Love” (2013), starring Steve Coogan.
