Sir: It was refreshing to read Ms Molly Parkin's championship

of the 'new morali- ty', with its condemnation of female- debasing pornography (Letters, 9 October). It pains me to inform her, however, that a writer (sic) using her name is filling back- street shops with lurid paperback novels which, sadly, repudiate — nay, tarnish everything she and I hold dear.
