    A woman who wrote a book about a character that had a horrible husband and hated him deeply.....who only wrote that book because she had a nice husband who paid for it to be published. Not sure what the meaning of that is.

    The Inklings were a group of Oxford writers that included Dorothy Sayers, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, Owen Barfield, and others

    As an aspiring author that is basically my worst nightmare 😅 imagine pouring your heart and soul into a novel just to have it named the worst book ever written and Mark Twain himself rips it to shreds

      If it’s any consolation, McKittrick Ros didn’t let any of that bad press get her down.
      She basically wrote a twenty page subtweet in the preface of her book Delina Delaney where she claimed that a critic who ragged on Irene Iddesleigh was secretly in love with her, calling him a “clay crab of corruption”.
      Furthermore, she was outspoken in thinking that her critics were simply too stupid to appreciate her work, and thinks that it was a big conspiracy to stop her from revealing the corruption of the ruling class by way of her writing.

    I was a little worried at first that the story of this author would end up a tragedy, like Jim Theis of Eye of Argon infamy.
    It’s never fun when the overblown negative reaction to a first attempt at writing completely stops an author from writing ever again. This is doubly so when that author is a woman, given the historic and contemporary stigma against women who write.
    But no, to my relief, not only did McKittrick Ros go on to write many more times, but reacted to the criticism of her writing in incredibly amusing, and somewhat delusional, fashion.

    The Inklings made a game of who could go the longest reading it out loud without laughing so it's the 1800s Eye of Argon

    Thanks for reading this book so we don't have to 🙂
    Unrelated but thanks for recommending Ronald Malfi! I read The Night Parade and loved it. I have some other books you talked about, and am looking forward to them. A few are extreme, like Cows, and require couragto start. I read Santasploitation in Dec. but don't think my husband is ready for it yet, lol!

    Hi Anda! Your synopsis/summary of this book is most likely more enjoyable than the actual book. On a side note, have you ever read James Herbert? Recently read a couple of his books, and they're pretty good. Recommend.

    It is always a problem to try to apply logic where no logic exists. Sounds like you could be drawn to this book to read it for humour and end up warping your mind. Best wishes on the next read.
