Well said.
What I don't really understand is why it was announced in the first place.
Why after 30+ years of not-publishing, does he go and say, I want to publish
'Hapworth'? He who has never had a kind word to say about publishing or
publishers or the after-effects of putting out a book among the dirty
masses.
Maybe 'Hapworth' has been delayed because he is rewriting for the 1000th
time that "the author writes:" blurb for the inside flaps of the dust
jacket. :)
