British novelist Tony Parsons is gearing up to tell tales from the terminal, as he assumes the role of writer-in-residence at London's Heathrow Airport.
The author and journalist, best known for his novel Man and Boy, moved into a hotel in the airport yesterday and will spend a week roaming the terminals in search of inspiration for his first collection of short stories.
He said he hopes the work, to be called Departures: Seven Stories from Heathrow, will revive the airport fiction genre.
