Useless quote for 23 Jul:

"… the humourless as a bunch don't just not know what's funny, they don't know what's serious."

~ Martin Amis, 1997

True enough. It eventually becomes clear that Mister Amis most ardently admired and loved Miss Austen. But perhaps he hated himself a bit for it.

And his description in those last three lines of the drooping arc of her personal hopes and life are so brutal you want to look away.

Jesus, Martin Amis was a brutal bastard.

"No reader can resist the brazen wishfulness of 'Pride and Prejudice,' but it is clear from internal evidence alone that Austen never fully forgave herself for it. 'Mansfield Park' was her—and our—penance. As her own prospects weakened, dreams of romance paled into the modest hope for respectability. 'Persuasion' was her poem to the second chance. And then came death."
