Those young, chirpy and good-humoured colleagues under fifty-something will
not have had the opportunity to absorb the latest outreach feedback in SAGA
mag Jan 2005. The crit by Selina Hastings on "Home" [quasi-genealogical
history of] by Julie Myerson (Flamingo, £20) reads:
'As each layer is uncovered, the tension builds as we accompany Julie on the
trail... the bleak public record offices with their cast of sullen
archivists and bad-tempered researchers ("register rage" is a recognised
phenomenon, when "the edge of your volume touches the edge of someone
else's")...'
Shome mishtake, shurely?
