I didn't say I'd never read any of his works.. I'm just not familiar with them and couldn't quote you a title to save my life. Like Barnes and Hardy, he catalogues a way of life that has gone the way of the dodo. His is not a life or history that I'm interested in so haven't made a point of reading further than the few that have come my way in anthologies.

PMB just reiterates my suggestion that one mans' genius is another mans' mediocrity.
