   Can anyone tell me whether One Fat Englishman is worth reading?   
      
      
   It's on my list. It will be read after Iris Murdoch's The Bell, which is   
   turning out to be quite compulsive.   
      
   Re Amis's father in law:   
      
   'He wore a beret and carried a rucksack: "How fearfully unerring that is as   
   a badge," Amis wrote to his friend Philip Larkin.'   
      
   Tony Benn had a dirty yellow rucksack with him when I saw him a few weeks   
   ago.
