Sobre IBD

Lying in a hospital bed after a heart attack, unsure whether there would be a tomorrow, author Chris Heal retreated from the noise and intrusion of the ward. He played a private counting game. How many famous people had he met? Later, Heal wrote this book containing short stories about seventy of the famous people he could recall, all personal moments, mostly fleeting, sometimes life-changing, always as truthful as memory allows, with humour and with no punches pulled.
