Callow’s Slater’s Dickens
Simon Callow is interesting on Michael Slater's expansive new biography of Charles Dickens. There, as he observes, was one busy fellow. Looks like it would be a good read one day, but I feel I should finish a few more of the novels rather than the meagre six or so far before I delve in. I recently finished A Tale of Two Cities and found it unabashedly excellent as usual, though I don't quite think it beats Great Expectations (that's not a clever joke by the way, though perhaps I should have made it so......)
