Abstract
Late in 1953, after we had moved to the country and I had begun work on Punch, a press-cutting agency sent a short extract from one of the weeklies (probably The New Statesman) either a review of someone else’s book in which my own name had been mentioned or a piece about writing in general the context of which I don’t remember. The remark about myself was well disposed, but not in the least fulsome. It was signed ‘Kingsley Amis’.
