It was his opening gambit after all. <br /><br />If his premise was not entirely tongue in cheek, he might have discovered other synergies, such as, for example, the immense popularity of Graham Greene, the poet's other preoccupation, a writer whose fictions (Greene called them "entertainments") managed to be be both aesthetically compelling and popular.<br /><br />A real hornet's nest this business of art vs the circus, but one still worth some attention, I think.<br /><br />Meantime, the reviewer did his main job - of reminding me I have to get this book.
