I’m looking forward to Glenn Miller and the Andrew Sisters-not Jackson’s taste at all! -Kate AtkinsonĪuthor One-on-One: Kate Atkinson and Lee Child (Jackson’s taste is strictly on the melancholic side.) At the moment I’m writing a book that begins in 1910 and goes through the Second World War so just now I’m listening to music from the Twenties and Thirties, rather odd and not entirely to my taste. There are a lot of songs about dead mothers and orphaned children for Case Histories and When Will There Be Good News, and more than a few about death and heaven in Started Early. Sometimes it’s apparent to me why I’ve chosen certain tracks and at other times I’m not at all sure of the reason. He, and I, like country music but that’s quite a broad church. I find it’s rather like a meditation, something I come back to on a regular basis when I’m writing because in some mysterious way it reminds me of the essence of each particular book. I always make a compilation tape for Jackson for each book.
