A wonderful Sunday Times review for What a Hazard a Letter is

November 19, 2018 Graham Coster
Sunday Times.png

The Sunday Times Books section devoted a whole page to a review of What a Hazard a Letter is, and a wonderfully positive review by Christopher Hart it was too. Here is the full text, and here is a taste:

‘A curious, astute and entertaining collection of famous unsent, unreceived (and a few unwritten) letters in history and literature… Some of the most heartbreaking are imaginary… But others still, wild and dashed-off as they might seem, are literature of the highest order… This utterly original compilation takes in Saul Bellow’s manic letter-writer Moses Herzog, television’s The Young Ones and the wily response of John F Kennedy to Nikita Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis… A charming book, witty, original and wise.’
