Hi Alison,
Yes, I'm shockin' old pinko commie whingin' gay whale tree huggin'
supporter, ain't I.
I rather thought this wasn't up to Bolt's usual standards (I use the
word 'up' loosely). Not only does he neglect to note that another
magazine which is also funded, ie Quadrant, also canvasses more or less
the same topics in its pages and that 'books' do not equate to
'fiction' and that books about all the dreaded subjects he is concerned
about are what people are choosing to buy and read. etc etc.
OK, back to the real world.
