Tuesday Articles: Diana Athill is the best.
14 June 2011
We interrupt Women in Finance (Books) Week for a literary Tuesday Article post.
Last week's big literary story was author V.S. Naipaul stating that no women writers are his literary match.
But my favorite part of the story was longtime Naipaul editor Diana Athill's response to his remarks. My favorite line there is at the end: "And Athill has previously said that when she needed cheering up, 'I used to tell myself, At least I'm not married to Vidia.'" Ha.*
Full disclosure: I love Diana Athill.
