But I LOVED "On Chesil Beach" - I think you can see from these, er, blurbs, that he's the best writer here. Some of this stuff is just horrifying (both subject-wise and writing-wise).

Always raising the question of whether or not they've ever had any good sex. Your annual wrap-up posts are excellent. This may be my best laugh of the whole month.
