I don't agree that people can't dislike THE ART OF FIELDING, and surely they don't all object to him on the grounds Harbach describes. But the group he describes, they would certainly object to it, yes. (But I'm from a margarine family, so what do I know?)

Allan Hollinghurst, whose reputation so precedes him that the first review of The Stranger's Child basically begins by asking: "Where is the gay sex I was promised!"
