  3. I enjoyed this tremendously....the first time, I think, that McEwan has written (intentionally) a genuinely funny novel. Some of the set pieces (the frozen 'object') - the packet of crisps incident - are as funny as anything in Kingsley Amis - and I mean that as a compliment. McEwan actually seems to be channeling a latterday Amis père in this book in his central character's world view, however there is, I perceive a serious substance to the story too. The characters are all well drawn - the serially randy Beard is particularly well done. McEwan's observance of the New Mexico scene - with which I am well acquainted is spot-on as is the portrait of contemporary London. Curiously, two intelligent women that I know, hated the book - but as I heard this second-hand I wasn't able to find out the reasons. Must have been Beard's behaviour.....

  15. I wish we'd sounded that good at 16! The recordings show that you have a good conception of how to perform as a jazz group - you've obviously listened widely and well and the tenor player in particular has the makings of an interesting soloist. In spite of all the other stuff people will tell you, mainly what you need to do is play, as a group and individually with as many other groups as possible in situations where it's real and it matters - as opposed to the necessary rehearsing and practising. But you know that I'm sure.....congratulations and thanks for keeping the flame!
