Brian tells us he is `about to graduate as a fiction writer'.
This process, apparently, involves exposing his work to
the scrutiny of his peers - who often give him a pretty bad
time. But everyone then repairs to the local hostelry where
`these conversations...end in drinks and laughs....[& later]
even handshakes and jokes in the hall-ways....'
The road to literary success can be a rough one, passing
as it does sometimes through the Field Intelligence Unit or
the Ospedale Maggiore. But the sound of the joviality in those
hallways certainly chills my blood.
