My Take
Archer fascinates me precisely because his life reads like fiction. An Oxford man who became an MP, then nearly went bankrupt and walked away from politics, only to rebuild everything as one of the world's best-selling novelists. That refusal to stay down, that instinct to turn ruin into material, is rare and a little ruthless in the best sense. He's been politician, novelist, playwright and peer, but what I admire most is the sheer narrative drive of the man himself. Some people write page-turners; Archer simply lived one and then sold millions of copies.
