God and the Daily Mail

No time for a proper review, but I read A.N. Wilson’s novel about God and the Daily Mail on Thursday, while I was watching the spare computer reboot, reinstall, and fail to work properly. Three times. That’s another story, one for which the world may never be ready. Anyway, the Wilson book is superb. I can only see two flaws. The reviews, written by journalists, naturally suppose that it is “about” the Daily Mail and our trade generally. More of the book is in fact taken up with a story about being a Christian in a godless world. Civilians will suppose the passages about the Mail are a satire. That is also a mistake.
