The BritLitBlogs bloggers appeared to be annoyed at being told what to write and about who. I was just pointing out that some of us do respond to breaking news; which you were wanting to happen. For what its worth, I agree with your assessment of John Fowles. But its interesting that you've started a bit of a debate over literary reputation - and where that now lies.
