Trevor Dolby publisher
Overrated Strictly Come Dancing was just about the most overrated cultural and political event of the year.
Underrated 1. Philip Roth’s latest Indignation was inexplicably ignored. Beautifully written, tempered with calculated anger. The critics, those who could be bothered, suggest Roth is publishing too much and quality is suffering. Balderdash.
2. Leonard Cohen at the O2: poet, composer, singer, arranger, mystic, legend, icon. One watches and listens in wonder. Generations hence will envy us.
