Dylan Jones is a true titan of the world of media … someone who has helped shape the cultural landscape of the UK for the last four decades.  
A lad from High Wycombe who rose to become one of the best connected and sharpest operators here and in the US … along the way editing GQ magazine 22-year years, writing or editing over 25 books and picking up a cabinet full of awards including an OBE.  He is now Editor in Chief of London’s Evening Standard.  
Dylan’s latest book – his memoir These Foolish Things, tells the story of this successful, glamourous life in rich detail, but is also a moving, revealing story of success in spite of a number of deeply personal crises.   Dylan’s childhood was blighted by physical and emotional abuse at the hands of his ex-RAF officer father – beatings that left him with a stammer and scars you don’t see.  Having escaped to seek freedom and a life in London, Dylan – as a 17-year-old – was raped.  
Throughout this courageous and, at times difficult, conversation, Dylan’s resilience and, as he puts it, ‘very particular’ approach to crisis shines through.
