Ashvin desai biography of michael lewis
Ashwin applied for funding earlier this year to undertake research on the history of race and sport in South Africa.
Wonderful story. Thanks for elaborating on your connection to Lewis and telling us all that will never meet him a little bit more about the man behind the books and the ideas. Thank you for writing about the extraordinarily innovative Michael Lewis. I hope his last years were comfortable. A great article and moving too. For example, he defines the use of some and any more accurately than any of the grammar books I have on my shelves.
