AS/JM: for the Irish, it¹s always PERFIDIOUS ALBION! The phrase is
indivisibule!
While online: afraid I quickly tired of Updike¹s explicit sex; after 2
promising rabbits! Did VN¹s admiration last longer than mine?Just read the
late David Foster Wallace¹s biting critique quoted in today¹s Times: ³No US
novelist has mapped the solipsist¹s terrain better than Updike, whose rise
in the 60s and 70s establshed him as both chronicler and voice of probably
the single most self-absorbed generation since Louis XIV.²
