with a more jaundiced eye than ever...

An exhibition review


At the Morgan, the Jane Austen Her Family Knew

But what about the new work, that takes Jane Austin's romance even further?
I'm in the middle of reading a parody of Austin's novel.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is an interesting, and at times hilarious, parody of this particular romance novel. (Sorry. This is just an aside... )

(Oh! Don't forget the next novel Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. It's written by a different author (along with Jane Austin) but I haven't read it. I'm not sure I like the direction this is going, though. A lot of good literature could be brought down to a common level by parody...)
