Goodreads asked Liam Leddy:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Liam Leddy As a child of around five years old I had a terrific headmaster called Mr.Kennedy. A kind man of portly build who favoured a pork pie hat, bow ties and smoked thin black cheroots. At that time he seemed very elderly to me. Looking back I would say late fifties perhaps sixtyish? In later years imagine my surprise when Mr. Kennedy -dressed in exactly the same attire said hello to me -addressing me by my first name- at Buchanan St. bus station in Glasgow and asked me how I was.
Only one problem with that you see. He was exactly the same age as I remember him while I was now in my early sixties!!
