Oodles of thanks for the kind words! Of course, any comparison with Voltaire would be gratefully received . . .
Myself, I felt, after the euphoria over the Blue Ear reviewer's comparison with Swift had died down a bit, that it was probably justified -- not in any egotistic sense but simply in that I was doing the same thing as Swift: eviscerating contemporary fuckwit ideologues.
That said, I'd be possibly even more delighted to be compared with Voltaire!

Does my egotism know no bounds?
Probably not. Ask Pam.
