Michael Frayn would like to say a brief word about a few of the people who have formed his

Some have had a profound effect, some only a passing one. Some he now wonders if he ever
really knew. But each has had a formative effect on his own remarkable life.
Among Others is a patchwork memoir of a lifetime’s encounters. Truthful and loving,

of others.
