“Why don’t you assume you’ve written your book already—and all you have to do now is find it?”—So Steward Brand wrote, in an email to Brian Eno, and so Eno reports to us, in “About This Diary,” the preface to A Year With Swollen Appendices: Brian Eno’s Diary, 1995.
The figure for the advance on Brian Eno's book cannot possibly be right. I suspect it was a joke on his part.
I wouldn’t be surprised if every word of the book was false.
Ha!
