In Case of Any News A Diary of Living and Dying

On 3 October 2018, Scottish journalist and author, Kenneth Roy, announced that he was dying of cancer. 'I am on the last bus now, front row nearest the driver, and heading for the terminus. And hoping all the traffic lights are at red.' The following day Kenneth did what came naturally to him - he started writing from his hospital bed and soon found that he was keeping this diary. It charts not just the relentless course of his illness, but his reflections on life and death, the comings and goings of the intimate circle of visitors around him, and his deep and warm appreciation of the NHS team looking after him. Sadly, Kenneth died just over a month later, leaving behind this, his final book. It is profoundly moving, at times funny, and always insightful and astonishingly honest.
