Frederick Raphael's "Lo and Behold-"-Annotations? (fwd)
Date
Body
I read Frederic Raphael's "Lo and Behold" after it was linked here (6
Feb). (I still remember and admire "Darling" and some of his TV scripts--"The
Glittering Prizes" and "Oxford Blues.") "L&B" was an enjoyable
pastiche, but I'm afraid I got only a small number of the
allusions--Girodias, Mary Quant, Warren Beatty, Lina Wertmuller (I
think), and of course Brian Boyd. Most of the others, including (and
I'm probably revealing too much ignorance or memory failure here) the
multiple references to Red Rock, went by me. Gwen Fairplay, Margarite
Byron, Ribillo, Irving Flashman, Nubar Boom Boom Gemujian, Floyd Austin,
Oleg Sherva, et. al. Are any of these worth knowing?
