I seriously doubt it. Gainfully and career-makingly written about, I have no doubt at all.
But I haven't read the book Shag is enjoying so much. I'll report back when I have. Who knows, maybe we now know what song the Sirens sang, and what name Achilles assumed when he hid himself among women -- as the man said. If so I will happily eat as much crow as Shag cares to prescribe.
