I note that my mention of pisseur de copie -- the sobriquet given to Hector Bartlett throughout A Far Cry From Kensington -- has been excised.

    What a shame - it's the perfect phrase for a certain kind of hack writer. Enjoyed the review anyway.

    A wonderful review, which even diminished does exactly what it should - make me determined to read the book.
