Where is the Little Man in Brown Tonight?
' I was the guy, because the only thing they saw me wearing when I did this job was a symphonic brown suit. I say symphonic because it was a complete-brown suit. brown shoes, brown hat, brown gloves. It was all very dapper. and then we watched an Edgar Wallace play and when I looked at the posters I kept saying to Mollie - "all a lot of nonsense, and here I am the real thief" and that was the real thrill.'
Victor Carasov has spent the best part of 50 years in prison mainly for jewel robbery. His first sentence was five years on a reform ship, at the age of 11, for stealing a bicycle in order to run away from home. He talks to LESLIE SMITH

Only Connect - on culture and communication by Richard Hoggart
2: Talking to Yourself
In order to communicate personal experience through writing, Professor Hoggart argues, an author must first engage in a dialogue with himself and discover who he is. Only then can he find the right tone to put himself in touch with other people. And he must constantly be questioning his motives for writing and how his awareness of a chosen audience affects his aims.
