A life in books: Simon Mawer | Culture | The Guardian
It's not my fault – it's sort of yours'."Mawer was born in England in 1948; his father served in the RAF, and his early years were, consequently, "chaotic.. . .
Then he suggested that I do a Year in Provence-style book, so I wrote A Place in Italy.

Interview with Simon Mawer -- ReadersRead.com
Oh, how I would love to be able to play the piano like she does!. . .
But apart from Mendel's Dwarf, none of my other writing has had anything directly to do with what I teach.
. . .
Sure, my evenings may have been taken up with marking pupils' work, but the one material benefit of the teaching profession is the length of the school holidays.
. . .
It is a novel about people, about their motives and their loves and their jealousies.
. . .
Perhaps the greatest gift that my family, and my wife in particular, have given me is support and security.
. . .
I wasn't very good and I gave up after a rather serious argument with an avalanche, but I still hanker after the thrill of climbing.

Simon Mawer on The Glass Room - The Man Booker Prize
That's a wonderful idea but I'm afraid I am not.. . .
How wonderful to be able to feel with Tomáš, as he smokes and looks out of the great windows on the grey and oppressive city, the import of Skleněný Pokoj: The Glass Room, yes, but also The Glass Tranquillity.
. . .
Over the phone the head of HH asked me whether it really was a first novel.
. . .
It was like panning for gold, sifting through the silt of translation dictionaries for nuggets I could use.
. . .
I often think I would be happy living in a tent.

But as you progress through the book you make choices, shut off possibilities, impose limits and restrictions, just as you do in life.

Simon Mawer : The Fall : Book Review - Mostly Fiction Book Reviews
When the novel opens, thirty years have passed since Jamie and Rob climbed the Eigerwand together, and Rob has just heard of the 54-year-old Jamie's death in a fall while climbing in Wales.. . .
The two men have already passed relics from previous climbs, which attest to "distant and nameless disaster [s]"--an old boot, an abandoned glove, an ancient canvas rucksack--and they realize that they are on a "haunted mountainside...surrounded by ghosts and tripping over their possessions." The weather is bad, and things are about to get much worse, as stones, loosened by a thaw, rain down, and clouds descend to obscure their planned pathways up the Face.
. . .
Mawer also explores the idea of climbing as a death wish and as "a substitute for feeling," with the cold of the mountain being a different form of Hell from the fires of passion.
. . .
Simon Mawer, a former mountaineer himself, draws on all his personal experience, recreating not only the drama of this "sport" but also the personal psyches of the climbers, those inner forces which impel climbers to face "Time and Death...the great parameters of the Eigerwand." Vibrant sensual descriptions of the mountains, the acts of nature which make the mountains so treacherous, and the agony of the climbing experience itself become so real that many readers will feel the "chicken skin" which accompanies vivid writing and turns fiction into a vicarious, personal experience.
. . .
While climbing, Rob remarks, "It was almost as though we were on a pilgrimage and were searching for revelation." But climbing is not necessarily a positive tribute to Guy Matthewson.

Radio Prague - Simon Mawer talks about The Glass Room
One of the obvious things – and Mendel’s Dwarf deals with this – is the fact that we will gain control over our genetics and we will be able to choose qualities that we would wish to see in our children.. . .
Have any critics said that maybe it’s too beautifully crafted, that it’s too perfect?

The piano stands where it has always stood, in the space behind the onyx wall, but except for that and a couple of chairs, all the rest has gone.

What is interesting is that I don’t structure books consciously.
. . .
And I must admit that for the last 32 years I’ve been involved with a school in Italy, which is where I live – it’s an international school and the demands of teaching in an international school are probably different from the average demands to teaching in a British school.” Do you think that the children are more motivated and that there aren’t the social problems that you might encounter in a more typical school?
