Attack of the Theocrats!
Wow. It was great to read this and really fascinating.
Who knows whether Richard will ever go on to write a full autobiography; if he doesn't, this will at least partly satisfy the hunger for one.
I was intrigued to hear about the years at Berkeley and the similarities with David Lodge's Changing Places!
As a great admirer of The Ancestor's Tale, I feel positively guilty at the tremendous effort it took Richard to write it. It is a really brilliant achievement and together with The Greatest Show on Earth (not mentioned in this piece) broke into new grounds of knowledge for me, for which I am hugely grateful.
Thanks for 'sharing', Richard!
