wow, I seem to plunged in ILE at the right moment with all this anglomania going on .

if this would be a firbank vs. saki I would say the first. I've always seen saki more as a forerunner of roald dahl (who I occasionally like) while firbank is the father of joe orton.

there is a beautiful story by saki about a boy and werewolf or something which I found very touching at the time.

sorry, with the dahl connection i mean mostly the non-reginald stories off course (althugh they sometimes mix) like the werewolf/boy story.

and there's one about some pederast vicar...oh dear

that was the werewolf wasn't it? or was it the vicar in a tutu?...oh I seem to mix up my english literature completely, with all these threads going on.

It was The Lumber Room I liked.

Who'd have thought it? so many Saki fans in one place. Quite brings a tear to the eye..

my favourite is 'The Easter Egg'.

Sredni Vashtar versus Riki Tiki Tavi. FITE!

fourteen years pass...

(Reginald affects an exhaustive knowledge of things political, which furnishes an excellent excuse for not discussing them.)
