I have his biography by Richard Ellmann to read at some stage. I also enjoyed the first of Gyles Brandreth's fictional mysteries about him - must get to the rest. It's also about time I saw the Stephen Fry film...Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-17888950775032931342011-03-16T20:55:22.553-04:002011-03-16T20:55:22.553-04:00Such a brilliant man and such a terrible injustice...Such a brilliant man and such a terrible injustice.

While I may not agree with all of this, I surely respect his writing and principles, and sympathize for him being sent to jail.<br /><br />I would substitute for "ennui," "war," "bigotry," "discrimination," and "poverty," but that's me.<br /><br />I smile when I think of his intelligence and wicked wit, and his forward-thinking.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-91703157990037687702011-03-16T19:02:54.128-04:002011-03-16T19:02:54.128-04:00Yes.
