This is a nice compliment from Kathy Gyngell,the Editor of Conservative Woman, a good website where I have started sending some of my articles.
She has awarded me her weekly prize, for my account of last weekend in Paris, in preference to other writers including James Delingpole.

'The prize goes to Paul Wood for his quite wonderfully written essay on France’s migrant revolution, which in my opinion had its way paved by those earlier soixante-huitards student revolutionaries. His evocative comparison of the past Paris with the Paris he has just revisited in its new Muslim incarnation took me back to those past geniuses, Graham Greene and Somerset Maugham, that so few today have the education, let alone the ability, to reproduce. Do read and appreciate.'
Attaboy!
ReplyDeleteSomerset Maugham. Now there's a writer who doesn't get enough appreciation these days.
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to read him. My father and mother liked him.
