And a publisher
for for for his his uh biography.

And you see, you know, it should have been enough for them that he was th thirty seven, the youngest ever black uh professor in Cambridge.
you know, he didn't need this additional um this f fabulism, this this i this additional, you know, uh I don't know what you call it, fantasy life that he had.

For instance, he had claimed that he was uh he suffered locked in syndrome for three months and his parents were told to switch off the life support.
That's not in his biography, so again that seems to have been invented.
So y unfortunately had this biography not emerged at the time with even more fabulous uh
claims it probably wouldn't have been as intense.
