I think someone should come to Chris's defence. Lawrence you should learn to
relax more --like Lee Marvin did -- . Surely what is written in these
exchanges of ours is not meant to be read as a legal document or even
vaguely academic. I'm sure other readers can come to their own conclusions
about Chris's reading experience-- I for one I delight in the fact that he
has gone to all the trouble of typing out excerpts for us. We live in a
soundbite culture, and often that is all we have time for -- if we want more
then we can go and buy the book or look for a copy in the library.
Regarding Andrew Motion and the position of being on top of the dunghill,
I'm sure that those detractors of his, if offered the same post would find
it hard to decline.
