Hamilton was famous for his restaurant habits, which consisted of smoking, drinking and playing with his food.

 Ian Hamilton
Hamilton was sent to the local grammar school, and it was there, during his last year, that he launched his first literary magazine.
Hamilton was playing his cards just a little bit closer to his chest than Boston realized, for he had already decided that the tenth anniversary issue was to be the last.
Hamilton had given up his editorial positions at the TLS and The Observer some years before, and for a time earned his living on Grub Street, writing most regularly for the New Statesman, which gave him the opportunity to change direction slightly by employing him as its television reviewer.

Ian Hamilton's book is called Awake among the Sleeping and it raises the question whether it was A Course in Miracles or a road to nowhere.
Ian Hamilton: The group used The Course in Miracles as a source text, and The Course in Miracles says as a fairly fundamental premise that this world is not real, this world is an illusion created by your own mind in denial.
Ian Hamilton: Eventually no. There was a great deal of power put into the teachings that what they called 'the special relationship' was to be broken and torn apart at all costs.

Ian Hamilton Finlay's undertaking at Little Sparta is consciously related to the original garden story; his is certainly an investigation of the relationship between knowledge, work and environment.
Ian Hamilton Finlay's Little Sparta is one of the rare contemporary sites where the relationship between language, identity and landscape can be examined.

 IAN HAMILTON - The New York Review of Books
It is true that Ian's taste was more for the personal and the lyrical, but that is not to say that he did not appreciate Lowell's "public" poems.
Sadly, Ian knew from personal experience with someone very close to him that at that level the illness does take the life over, in the sense that the sane periods are doubly shadowed; they are lived trying to live down—to clear the debris of the last breakdown and dreading the inevitable next one.
Ian was keenly aware of posterity—witness his Keepers of the Flame and the posthumous Against Oblivion.

Hamilton follows the styles of biography as one mode rises over the body of earlier modes: the Victorian biography, for instance, reflects the newly emerging Romantic concept of the artist.

It works because Ian is very clever at choosing the right collaborator for the job." He has worked with the letter-carvers Brenda Berman and Annet Stirling, the printmaker Gary Hincks and the ceramicist David Ballantyne, among others.

Included are manuscript notes, drafts, and extracts of letters for the book, correspondence of Hamilton with alumni of schools attended by Salinger, Valley Forge Military Academy (Class of 1936) and Ursinus College, and copies from various institutions of Salinger correspondence (1934-1973).
There are also legal briefs and depositions form the suit by brought Salinger, who sought to prevent Hamilton from quoting or closely paraphrasing his unpublished letters because such use infringed upon "fair use" as defined by the laws of copyright.

At issue were Salinger's unpublished letters, and Hamilton is rightly disturbed by the fact that, in covering the case, newspapers and magazines were able to print the very correspondence he was restricted from using.
Within the text, Hamilton refers to himself and his biographer "alter ego" as "we," an affectation that distracts the reader.
This book is an attempt to salvage the biography and, at the same time, to describe the problems Hamilton faced in writing the life of an author who prefers to remain hidden.

 The dawn of the legend: Ian Hamilton
Command of the Gallipoli operations was given to a British general, Sir Ian Hamilton.
But he was ill-suited for a campaign that demanded strong leadership and was probably doomed from the start; he was not able to inspire his commanders and never gained the confidence of his troops.
After watching the landing at ANZAC from HMS Queen Elizabeth, Hamilton wrote: “The landing was in full swing; shrapnel was bursting over the water; the patter of musketry; the machines guns spluttered.

Scottish poet Ian Hamilton Finlay is certainly one of the most controversial and provocative artists working today, yet he has not been widely discussed by American poets not only because of his difficult “politics” but because of the wide range of his mediums for expression.
During this early period, he was also writing distinctive short stories and plays in a high Symbolist manner, but after a time he ceased any activity in these forms.

Hamilton (In Search of J. Salinger) fails largely in his purpose to equate the work of often overlooked film scripters to the contributions of famous directors.
The book opens with promise, telling about writers hired to subtitle early silents and pioneers like Anita Loos who sold original stories to the studios.
There are, moreover, errors: In The Best Years of Our Lives, the veteran's hands were blown off, not, as Hamilton has it, his arms; the Nazi in Lifeboat amputated the American's torn leg, not his arm.
