ABOUT THE LRB
Since 1979, the London Review of Books has stood up for the tradition of the literary and intellectual essay in English. Each issue contains up to 15 long reviews and essays by academics, writers and journalists. There are also shorter art and film reviews, as well as poems and a lively letters page.
A typical issue moves through political commentary to science or ancient history by way of literary criticism and social anthropology. So, for example, an issue can open with a piece on the rhetoric of war, move on to reassessing the reputation of Pythagoras, follow that with articles on the situation in Iraq, the 19th-century super-rich, Nabokov’s unpublished novel, how saints got to be saints, the life and work of William Empson, and an assessment of the poetry of Alice Oswald.

Very interesting.
.Pity she was estranged from her children, especially after what she went through her children should have rallied around her, when she really needed their love and consideration . What she went through was enough to damage anyone psychologically..
He: don't forget the unibrow. Summers in Florida? Winters, surely? Summers even now can be too much (I live there!).
It took the Brits a while to figure out why they could get cheap summer holidays in Florida! I am a Brit btw.
Lady Lucan killed the nanny. Then lord lucan. Simple as that
What rubbish...obviously he ran off to wait for Elvis in a flying saucer....Honestly Americans cannot see the truth under their own noses......
