Jura

Other times Jura came up

1. On 1984, the process of writing it sounds really horrible. Fun though it is to read. He was really sick, wasn't he? He had terrible TB and he went to the island of Jura, very, very remote spot on the Scottish island of Jura to write 1984 after he'd been widowed. A person on the island had died very unexpectedly. A very sad time. He'd taken the son he just adopted.

2. So a very sad time. He'd taken the son he'd just adopted. I think they adopted a son about six months before she died. He took the son, went to Jura, and it just sounds like agony. He'd write that TB was gradually killing him as he forced out this awful book. He's, again, he's... sounds a little bit like Mornay is so determined and kind of gutsy.

3. They go to a security firm. Oh, they buy suitcases in London. Two massive suitcases. They go to a security firm and extract all of this cash and then disappear to Jura. It sounds so annoying as well because he'd be so knackered after that long, confusing day. They said, OK, we're going to burn all the money tomorrow. Then Jim goes to bed, writes off his notes for the day, puts his head on the pillow, and immediately they bang on his hotel door at midnight and go, actually, we're going to do it now.
