Martin Amis recalls 鈥榯he mad clatter of typewriter keys鈥� as Jane Howard wrote.

鈥淛ane didn鈥檛 disappear into her study until the last possible minute. She would be gardening or cooking or staring out the window smoking and then in a flurry she would disappear into her study. And you鈥檇 hear the mad clatter of the typewriter keys and she would emerge an hour later having written twice as much as my father would in a whole day.鈥�
