"I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a
sluggard to write an article a
fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the
opiate of action, the
crank by posing as a good
journalist, and having an air hole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up."
Cyril Connolly
Critic and Curmudgeon
