And my apologies to the ANOINTED ONE, as I see Dalkey have published one of her titles: JO'B's footprints again.

Also, co-written with Michael Levey and Charles Osborne: Fifty Works of English* (*And American) Literature We Could Do Without, highlighting the worst of literature's overrated crap. At least, that was the point. I'm reading it now (slowly, a few entries at a time), and most of the books Brophy & Co. think are boring (and most of which I haven't read yet) actually sound quite interesting.

MJ, have you read any of her novels besides In Transit since?

Apparently as her penance she wrote Prancing Novelist: A Defence of Fiction in the Form of a Critical Biography in Praise of Ronald Firbank

No. In Transit was so unintelligible, I can't fully recommend her. Manny has read Flesh:
