...That's hardly a profound point, whether you agree with it or not, but it does set the tone for what follows. Both the Naipaul fan and the general reader will turn the pages of A Writer's People with mounting dismay, not simply because it compares poorly with his previous work - the slow waning of which has been well documented - but because it indulges Naipaul's famous petulance to such an extent that the man himself fails at looking and feeling, whatever his book's subtitle might be. In place of truth-telling, he has substituted superciliousness and spite...

Lineups for the Head of the Charles are not finalized until the last days of the week before the Regatta, as sophomores get used...

Eventually the dreamer develops what Bregman would call an "allergy" to the Opposition, and as it fades, adult male or female figures appear called archetypes, or the animus and anima. A very powerful, beautiful, profound and loving relationship develops between the child and the archetypes. Some people also dream an even more powerful male figure called the father...
