Tom's a nice guy; I'm sure he'll acknowledge that his comment was just passionate belief coming out wrong. Won't you Tom?
Jebus, I feel like Miriam Stoppard this week.
I don't think my post was rude. It didn't come out wrong, for sure. It was prompted by my thinking that to sweep aside such an incredible author with the label 'OK' is exceptional arrogance, especially from a person labelling themself as a writer and academic. Anyway, it's all good and we can agree to disagree - it remains a great deal easier to criticise others' writing than to write oneself.
I'm glad Kat gets what I'm going on about though ;)
