It's ages since I read 10 1/2 chapters and the only 'chapter' that stood out was the one about Noah's Ark. I only listed him for his quite nice writing style but, a bit like Updike, I'm not sure he uses it to say much. Which is a problem for a lot of contemporary British writers of a more literary stamp.
I'm not a big gin drinker but when I do have one it's a beefeater G&T. But I recently got into Martinis, which is killing my finances. People's choice in spirits seem to echo their cultural fantasies, which only makes me think that you harbour dreams of a gutter literary life in 1940s London, while I just yearn to do rude things to Joan in Mad Men.
