Ros - this should be a great event. I note that certain non-experts in the media have taken umbrage that the London Library should host such an event. I know you have been involved in countering these rather ignorant men. Do you have any updates?

Hi Bill, yes - my letter criticising their criticism was published in the UK's Daily Telegraph yesterday. There has been yet another person opining (without knowing what Elizabeth's book is really about) in the UK press today. It would be exhausting to write to them all, but I am in correspondence with a couple, so we shall see. I've also posted a rather cheeky critique on my person Substack, Adventures in the Authorship Question. I'll be posting a full update to the SAT's Substack site (here, in other words) on Saturday!

And for those wishing to prolong the debate across the Channel, the American Library in Paris has just announced their hosting an event with Elizabeth Winkler in June:

A brilliant heretical evening just a few steps away from the Eiffel Tower, who could turn that down?
