Frivolity

Sir: Kingsley Amis's letter about your coverage of the Falklands episode has cleared up one small point: whether he is a fairly serious commentator on current events or a fairly entertaining writer of light fiction with strong political prejudices. He is a fairly entertaining writer of light fiction With strong political prejudices. However, there are so few of these about nowadays that we are probably justified in continuing to read him, though he is less entertaining and more prejudiced than he used to be.
