Do read this piece, it will reassure you that all those things we complain of - struggling for publishing deals and the hurdles put in our way. Are recognised and deplored.

I feel a plug coming on ... Fay Weldon wrote about 'Crying for the Moon': "It is a very careful and sensitive and likeable account ..." It's from the 'Slubberdegullion' collection.

What's up, Jay and Carol?  I was a sort of fan of hers in the 80s.

Jay Mandal

Er ...? Confused, here. By the way, I got your e-mail four times. I've been receiving some messages five times, so one's probably still on its way. Anyone know what's causing this duplication? Quintiplication???

Carol

Not sure what you mean TT. I've read Fay Weldon's stuff, it's okay.
I thought the piece was interesting in that, a writer like her, was finally declaring an opinion on all those things ordinary writers moan about.
Maybe I'm wrong.

Jay Mandal

Quintuplication?

I just read it, I am depressed now.

Tessa Tangent

Ah.  Well, it's quite the current Fay mood, if you read her latest book...
