The newsagents muttered something about 'a strike.'. As one might expect. So I cdn't get an I.T. I did pick up the latest HIB. They print my Keith Doyglas piece on their first review page and include me in their notes on contributors: "Ulster poet living in London." Fair enough. Latest H.U. arrived yesterday,a big 'double' issue. It contained a vicious attack on my friend Denis xxxxxx Ireland's "From the Belfast Jungle" by none other than J. Simmons - he founded the H.U., as you know. Poor old Denis, who was 80 recently,will be upset. He had a hell of a job getting the book pub- lished and I for one think it's really good - parts of it,esp his boyhood memories of Belfast upper-class society, brilliant. Simmons takes Hewitt and Ormsby (H.U. editor) to task for praising the book elsewhere and tells them they shouldn't review every book that comes Text Saturday, August 20, 2016 - 11:13
