| Quotation | I have always considered you to be about the best living writer we've got. You do not need to be told that if you read The Seven Storey Mountain. I think I have read Decline and Fall and Vile Bodies over more than any other book except perhaps Ulysses: I mean before coming here. Needless to say I am very thankful for your notice, which the publisher intends to use on the jacket of the book. |
