Further to earlier postings, this is what the book is called, and it's out in June. That's definite. It's published by Picador, and the hardback will be £20....
There's a review of 'The Story of BS Johnson' by Jonathan Coe in tonight's London Evening Standard. It's by Gordon Bowker. The headline is: Still refusing to...
I think if you just ask them (try to mail the lit. editor) they would hardly mind having it scanned into the archive. ... wrote: > There's a review of 'The...
I believe Gordon Bowker is one of Orwell's five biographers. ... From: "Richard Whiting" <richardwhitinguk@...> To: <bsjohnson@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...

There are reviews of Jonathan Coe's imminent biography (4 June) in this weekend's Observer and Sunday Times, as well as a feature and extensive extract in...
Dear members, If anybody is planning on attending the talk by Jonathan Coe on the 17th June in London could they video the event ( with permission) and i will...
Dear all, If anybody is really going to video the event of Coe's talk, I would very much like a copy as well, since - as in Lawrence Windrush's case - ...

Below is a slightly edited extract from an e-mail sent to a friend, but I thought the group might like to see it and comment. I should add that, despite its...
Did anyone else hear the feature on the new Coe biography on Radio 3's "Night Waves" last night? I don't agree with Coe's claim that Johnson thought writers...
I totally agree with you. It is a fairly reductive and limited point of view (to put it harshly) which ignores the conceptual and aesthetic wealth of Johnson's...

There's a review of LAFE in today's Times (by odious middle-class shit Giles Coren) that beggars belief. From the opening salvo of "You're lying if you claim...

I see Johnson as several different characters, all of which he was aware of and played up at various times in his writings and his justifications of it. On the...
I have read all of Johnson's books. Does that make me a liar? Is there a new semantic paradox here? ... There's a review of LAFE in today's Times (by odious ...
I suppose Coren's "you're lying if..." claim is simply a handy prop with which he can wave away anyone who might care to take issue with his review. Having...

It said that Johnson was working on a film adaptation at the time of his death. Had he started or finished it? If the latter, is it available as part of his ...
Jules I am now at this email address: DAVIDQUANTICK@.... PS I have just sent a possibly libellous review of Fiery E (libellous of Giles Coren, that is)...

No sign of your review on Amazon yet, David. Any chance of posting it to the group so we can have a read? I was amazed that the Times actually printed Giles...
I've just read the article, and I bloody well wish I hadn't. I've never read such a lot of drivel in all my life. He's plain wrong about his works being...
Not to come on like Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells or anything, but I wonder if it's worth contacting The Times' editor about that review? Probably not, but it...

The revenge theory sounds quite plausible - I noticed that one of the few negative reviews of the biography, this one by Anthony Thwaite in the Telegraph,...
Below is a sample of comments on Joyce's Ulysses submitted to the BBC website. Clearly, the great British reading public is no less philistine than they were...
The review was a disgrace. It seemed pretty stupid to say that the books are out of print, given that he was ostensibly reviewing the new omnibus of three BSJ...
Hi, I can't help feeling that the publicity for B.S Johnson's work has been poor.How do many 'obscure' writers get re-published and Johnson doesn't? ...

There's a long, thoughtful review of Like a Fiery Elephant in today's TLS by someone who clearly has read Johnson's novels - and his poems - unlike Giles...
