hero worship

i had to screech to a halt today after glimpsing one of mad jack fuller's follies

i'd been introduced to him by the late great edith sitwell in her lovely book "english eccentrics" which celebrates the energy and passion and humanity of those who are extremely disinhibited for one reason or another

she probably wrote it for money, and in a hurry, but it is well worth persevering with her

Tristan, After reading this post about "English Eccentrics" by Dame Edith Sitwell, a borrowed a copy from my local library. I've just finished reading it and alas there is no mention of Jack Fuller in it at all. I'm a bit confused and I'm wondering which book you really meant.
