The screenwriter Abi Morgan works in a small flat above a perfumery in Islington, north London. Its rooms are, for a writer, extraordinarily tidy. The casual visitor would not think for a single moment of fraught commissioning meetings and hurtling deadlines .... the little squares of paper that line one wall.
Morgan .... her first book, This Is Not a Pity Memoir. It begins on a day like any other. On this morning, her husband, who has MS*, doesn’t feel fantastic. When she arrives home, Jacob is lying on the bathroom floor. In hospital, he has a series of seizures and his behaviour grows so strange and erratic that he is soon transferred to the intensive therapy unit. .... before she learns that the withdrawal of a supposed wonder drug for MS has caused his collapse (he is one of just 22 patients .... this catastrophic response). Finally, it is decided: Jacob .... into an induced coma for seven months.
Morgan doesn’t, to put it mildly, go in for self-pity. .... huge her heart – her book, not without reason, is billed by its publisher as a love story — there’s no denying that it also contains an icy chip that makes pretty much everything fair game. “My sister was its first reader, then my children, then Jacob’s family; I knew before I took it to any publisher they all had to be comfortable. But I’m also a dramatist and Jacob is an actor. We .... fascinated not only with other people’s lives, but with our own, too.”
Writing the book was more than a creative act. “Primarily, I did it because I .... my mind and I was trying to hold on to my sanity,” she says. And then there was Jacob. Not only .... to write down what he’d missed, all the stuff he would never remember. She longed to be able to talk to him. “I grimace slightly when I see it called a love story. But it is. If it’s brutal, the person .... is me.”
