![]() His estate is passed to his only living relative, Lady Sarah Sim-Jaegar, who expresses all of the snootiness of her titled background beautifully enshrined in the money-grabbing greed of her adopted LA home as she provides her utterly pointless introduction to the papers he has left behind. Who knows? It doesn't seem to have much relevance to the story so perhaps we should just let it pass. Or perhaps he just falls down the stairs. The conceit is that retired Glasgow schoolteacher and aspiring but failed writer, John Tunnock, is brutally murdered at his home. None however compares to Old Men in Love (Are Still Learning), which purports to be the posthumous papers of one John Tunnock. With my somewhat eclectic taste, tendency to pick up books from the piles of unread or discarded, and off-centre (or some would say warped) sense of humour, I have probably come across a few strange writings in my time. ![]() ![]() Summary: The posthumous papers of John Tunnock reveal plans to write THE great Scottish book.the papers are edited by Gray into something presumably erudite, but which this reviewer simply failed to appreciate. ![]()
