Roy merits a sad sigh, not vitriol) I have a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird (alas, a new one) but I would love to find copies of - A Tree grows in Brooklyn, Betty Smith - 84 Charing Cross Road, Helen Hanff (I think) - Onions in the Stew, Betty Macdonald (not even available on Amazon) - Scruffy, Paul Gallico (much better than the slightly forced Mrs. Harris stories, not that those weren't good in their day and age) Any pointers? J.A.P. Forgive me for continuing to labour a dead horse - this will be the last time, I promise. A. Roy, like everybody else, deserves treatment on merit, not a pre-selected response ready to jump out of the box on demand. That is what that bloody review was, a clumsily put together bunch of prejudices and locker-room mental calisthenics masquerading as art criticism. I hate a bad hatchet job.
