Quote of the Day (P.G. Wodehouse, on Literary Critics)
“The soppiness and overenthusiasm of modern literary
criticism is due to the fact that critics are now clean shaven instead of
wearing full-size whiskers.”—P.G. Wodehouse, in a 1935 letter to his agent, in P.G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters, edited by Sophie Ratcliffe (2013)
The image that accompanies this post, of the great
comic writer P.G. Wodehouse(1881-1975),
was taken around 1904.
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
