The murder of George Floyd, a forty-six-year-old black man, on 25 May 2020 by Derek Chauvin, a forty-four-year-old police officer, in the US city of Minneapolis sent shock waves around the world. We rarely see pictures of a murder taking place but Floyd's death was an exception. The image of Chauvin kneeling on George's neck is not one which I'll ever forget and the protests which followed cannot have been unexpected. There was a backlash against the police - and not just in Minneapolis: whatever their colour or creed they were ''all'' tarred by the Chauvin brush.}}{{newreviewFrontpage|author=Gregg WallaceBjorn Natthiko Lindeblad, Caroline Bankeler, Navid Modiiri and Agnes Bromme (Translator)|title=Life on a Plate: The I May Be Wrong|rating=5|genre= Autobiography|summary= When the Dalai Lama adds his words to your frontispiece, I'm inclined to think it doesn't really matter how the rest of the world responds to your book.

For any lover of literature The bad – well it's a fascinating insight into the man. People write memoirs largely to put their side of the story. Rushdie hardly news two years later – is of course supremely intelligent and a gifted wordsmith and yet while aspects of the story remain shocking and induce both anger and incredulity that the situation was allowed to go as far as it did and for so longbook is published posthumously. As always, it's probably not a book beautifully written, with many exciting moments. What I most enjoyed was the feeling that will change your views of Rushdie the man, not least as he displays many of the traits questions in Ian Mathie's later books are answered in ''Wild Child'' with a satisfying clunk.
