I think the New Writers volume\nis very good. Sorry I cannot say the same about Soldier\nFor Hire. I think this is bogus Irishry at its worst.\nHowever, I have not yet finished the galley proofs and\nperhaps I will revise my opinion. But at the moment -\nhalf way through - I am certainly not impressed. How-\never, a rollicking piece of written-up material may well\nbe successful as an adventure story. But not for the\ndiscriminating reader, alas! I regard it as a doped\nhorse from the Calder stables.\n\nEver\n\n(John Boyd)\n\nTalks Producer, N.I .Region\n\nMrs.Marian Lobbenberg,\nc/o Messrs.John Calder Ltd.,\n17 Sackville Street,\nPiccadilly,\n\nLondon, W.I.\n\nJB/PJ\n","Type":"Text"}}]
