Hmm. As a target of racism, I can’t say it would be high horsey to be sensitive. Only those who don’t have to suffer from othering might see it as high horsey. I think of the fellas who are tone deaf to the stereotyping of women in some reviews. Thanks for the warning anyway. I’ll pass.
Ah, but of course the opening of 28 Days Later is inspired by The Day of the Triffids, which neatly slots chronologically between them.
ah yes it does! excellent book!
Hi Cecile - by now I've come to expect some racism or plain old antisemitism in almost every novel I've read from the early 20th century - even in something as innocuous as Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
