Chris D:

I just got an email from John Dolan about his Roy piece. Actually he sent it a while ago but it somehow wound up in my spam box. He says he'll look at the relevant posts. ;)

=====================

Now this, for some difficult to define reason, is the one thing I'm looking forward to (the previous thing I was looking forward to, the universe's collapse, having failed to manifest thus far).

The rude boy roughness of Dolan's Roy review left him wide open to the charge of misogyny. The textual evidence is strong (though I suspect he was making a point about the way Roy's looks and, to use an unfortunate phrase I'm pre-cognitively pre-regretting, her 'sensuously exotic writing' features prominently in standard issue Western reactions) so the manner of defense might be interesting.

Or not.

.d.
