Views
Quotations: “My life is not a long disease, as was Alexander Pope’s, and, unlike him, I do have a wife (the best on the planet) to help me through it. But I was dipped in ink quite early, and I still can’t shake off my interest in humanity, past and present, and its literature. I have been diverted into literary criticism, but hope to do some more truly creative writing before I die”.
