"The Preface includes the sentences: "A recent piece in the LRB started out with some malicious animadversions on the whole convention of prefatory acknowledgements... it is to be feared that so sneering a note is not untypical of the present journal's rival conviction that anything of literary note can only take place in NW6." Not a promising start to a bio of a beautiful writer."
