On the last day I was here, I visited a friend at her office on the top-most floors of the World Trade Center and looked out in awe over this great city. I haven't been in New York since the fall of 2000, when I was visiting this city to promote my first book. Murray claims to have been profoundly influenced by the 9/11 attacks: Murray's early writing for the Spectator was mainly focused on his literary interests. He has since written for many other publications, including the Observer and the New York Sun. While still at Oxford, Murray began reviewing for the Spectator.

His first book, Bosie: A Biography of Lord Alfred Douglas, was published in 2000 by Hodder and Stoughton (UK) and Miramax Books (USA). The book was reportedly completed before Murray progressed to reading English at Magdalen College, Oxford, and was published while he was still a 21-year-old undergraduate there.
