Sumario:The writer describes how the death of writer Martyn Harris from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma at the age of 43 constitutes the loss of a funny, appealing, gifted, and honest friend. Harris was a feature writer for Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper. He had also written for the Spectator and the New Statesman. His skill as an interviewer, as a roving reporter, and as a prose writer was appreciated by his various Telegraph editors. His writing during his illness and about his illness was even sharper, funnier, and more rational than before, revealing that, as a writer, he had hardly begun.
