It's on a very awkwardly-shaped cut out from the old style broadsheet Guardian.

I was only curious.<BR/><BR/>btw, you might have seen it already. <BR/><BR/><BR/><I>The British do some things supremely well. Novels – the writing and making of them – is one such thing. If we did cars as well, we'd be Japan. If we did sport as well, we'd be the old communist German Democratic Republic with its drugs and all. If we did three-course meals as well, we'd be France.<BR/><BR/>The long and short of it is, we're world-beaters when it comes to fiction. And McEwan is the best novelist we've got. Or have had for decades.</I><BR/><A HREF="http://comment.independent.co.uk/commentators/article2919575.ece" REL="nofollow">here</A>Alokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947383354732747209noreply@blogger.com
