| 'A fabulous spirit, generous, richly inventive, warm and funny' … Ian McEwan with his agent Deborah Rogers |
My hero:
Deborah Rogers
by Ian McEwan
My agent was the least self-interested person I've ever met. Her families, the real one and the extensive one she created around her, are reeling at their loss
Friday 9 May 2014
Deborah Rogers, who died last week, became my agent and close friend in the mid 1970s. For almost 40 years, she watched over my writing life and many other aspects of my existence with such care that I could sometimes fool myself that I was her only client. She was the least self-interested person I've ever met – she gave everything to everyone.
