GregP Feb 2018 9:30pm, 6 Feb 2018 99,768 posts	0 GregP It is a horrible book which will be beloved I’m sure by guerrilla Guardianistas and champagne socialist hipster sociopaths. The rest of us are best off avoiding it like swamp fever or trench foot. McG’s review is rather good though.

Diogenes Feb 2018 10:32pm, 6 Feb 2018 26,352 posts	0 Diogenes It’s not horrible, either. It’s very funny.
Diogenes Feb 2018 10:37pm, 6 Feb 2018 26,354 posts	0 Diogenes ...and heartwarming. Did I mention that it’s heartwarming? It’s very good on Mothers, Mothers who serve their purpose and then disappear. Highly recommended to all bookkeepers and accountants, not to mention poisoners and bombers. This book will change your life.
Chrisull Feb 2018 10:39pm, 6 Feb 2018 12,222 posts	0 Chrisull Hmm I read this a while ago, and out of the BS Johnson one's I've read, it struck me the least, perhaps because it lacks the emotional fulcrum that the unfortunates (the one where you get a random set of unbound chapters and can read in any order) has. It's perhaps his most conventional, too , some of them are really out there...
Diogenes Feb 2018 10:45pm, 6 Feb 2018 26,356 posts	0 Diogenes Johnson is such an interesting writer and person, if you judge him on this book alone, it’s s big mistake.
McGoohan Feb 2018 10:46pm, 6 Feb 2018 32,990 posts	0 McGoohan I am idly wondering where you can get any sort of fulcrum in a book that is published, and can be read in, any order...
