This is the first Coda I have written since Christopher Martyn retired last month as editor of QJM. Christopher would no doubt have censored any compliments about himself, so this is my first chance to praise him in these pages. He has been an extraordinarily thoughtful and literate editor, and I want to use this month's article to reflect both on our relationship as columnist and editor, and also more generally on the role of editor as muse.
