Beginning in July 1939, he collaborated with Randal Heymanson to produce a newsletter called Vital News that they distributed confidentially to British and American government policymakers and bankers until December 1941.
Between 1952-61 her served as Washington, D.C. correspondent for The Economist, then settled full-time in England in 1961, where he became a feature writer for The Times, remaining with the newspaper until he retired in 1971.
To prevent further "advances", the family takes matters in hand, leading to a conclusion given away by the book's eventual subtitle, "How I ate my father".
[5]) Continuing authorship into old age, Lewis published a second novel in 1990, The Extraordinary Reign of King Ludd: An Historical Tease, which took as its preliminary premise that Queen Victoria abdicated in 1849, following the triumph of International Socialism in Europe.
