Anyway I've just started in on an autobiography of Jonathan Swift, who wrote Gulliver's Travels. Written by someone named Victoria Glendinning. It's AMAZING! She's a REALLY good writer, which I hadn't expected at ALL - she's very clever and she "gets it," she knows what this guy was really like and she understands
why; and she understands why he was SO angry, and how that entered into his stories. Excellent researcher, as well. I'd highly recommend it for anybody who's into Gulliver's Travels.
