I suspect that these days the fact I have a basement lined with bookshelves (all of them overflowing), would itself put off the readers of Dazed, never mind which titles are amongst them. I choose to see that as their loss rather than mine.

"When I don’t like a writer my first instinct is the look for the fault in myself." A sensible approach, but it occurs to me that I must be full of faults, as my attempts to read modern literary fiction are often unsuccessful. Perhaps, as with music, we reach an age after which no new books are likely to please as the old ones did?
