James Fenton on the new edition of Johnson's Lives of the Poets (edited by Roger Lonsdale, OUP; must see if I can get a copy of this);
Simon Baron-Cohen on Michael Blastland's book about his son's autism;
Lionel Shriver on Norah Vincent (oh, good, I see her new novel is coming out in May from Serpent's Tail; it's silly, what I really should do is go and read the Shriver backlist, but it will have to wait now till I'm back in New York because I am an
idiot if I check any more books out of the library in the meantime, I will just have to return them without reading due to time constraints).
FYI. Alasdair Gray is now blogging:
