lost papyri

    Although a couple of my best bananafish chums managed
    to get hold of at least one of the books .... & although I'm
    told they've been offered second hand on the net for a hundred
    bucks .... & although they received the kind of reviews from
    the likes of Elizabeth Bowen & Claire Tomalin that you only
    ever dream about....

    ... nonetheless,

    ... in the light of what I'm now turning out, the thought of those
    damned books fills me with nothing but the most profound
    embarrassment & the hope they never again see the light of day.

    You see, I really DO mean it. If you can't write a masterpiece
    better not write anything less. Having produced both kinds,
    I can tell the difference - & know what I'm talking about.
