Hi Moss. Sorry for the long delay. I guess I am just inclined to take anything he says on the subject very seriously. Apart from the wonderful evocation of prehistoric landscape in his novels, he has made several significant discoveries himself. And his understanding of 'stone' seems without compare in living writers (he does after all come from stonemason stock).

In his last novel Boneland, his evocation of the prehistoric mind is completely convincing. x
