My copy of this is arriving from Amazon tomorrow. I just can't wait!
AUBERON WAUGH ... PROBABLY THE GREATEST JOURNALIST SINCE GEORGE ORWELL |
MISSION STATEMENT ... To celebrate where it's deserved! ... To take the Michael out of institutions and individuals where it's deserved! ... Recently I had occasion to prepare my gravestone epitaph: GENE... Educator, Novelist, Humanitarian and Humorist - TO KNOW HIM WAS TO LOVE HIM - Rest in Peace ....... But while I am still walking the earth do not hesitate to contact me at: bobbyslingshot8@gmail.com
No doubt we will be reading bits of it soon on here - plagiarised and copied without acknowledgement, naturally. Auberon Waugh was a fine journalist who could never live down the fact that his father was ten times the writer he was; just as you can never live down the fact that you desperately want to be a writer but lack the intelligence, technique, talent, ear for prose, and above all something new, interesting and worthwhile to say.
ReplyDeleteStick to plagiarising, drinking and wanking, Gene - it's what you do best.
