- Robin, I wish I'd been there (I was at a librarians' beano in Exeter
where it certainly never got this exciting): this is the "critical prose"
I've been looking for, I think - "whines" and "jumbled-up bollocks" and
"best thing ever" - miles away from the constipated multisyllabics of
critical theory and twice as accurate. Thanks.
