The Wasp Factory - The Times Review

[Ezra1973]

Can anyone let me know which edition of The Times carried the infamous "rubbish" review of The Wasp Factory?

[Deep Black]

Are you after the paper then, not the book?

[Ezra1973]

Yep, thanks for the reply.

I have a signed copy of the book. In the dedication Iain refers to The Times review so I would like a copy of the paper to complete the collection.

[Deep Black]

Cool

DaveH could be your man for this question.

Maybe try sending him a message & see if he knows which paper it was in

[Ezra1973]

Cheers for that. I'll try contacting DaveH

& there you go, now to track down a copy

[daveh]

What does the dedication say?

[Ezra1973]

Thanks DaveH

It says:

"To John from Iain Rubbish Banks" with an arrow a hand written "(The Times)" underneath.

It's a first edition I've just got from 'The John'.

[Ezra1973]

And thanks Deep Black.

Off to get a copy now.
