Q: Nicholas Lezard has written 'Rowling can type, but Le Guin can write. What do you make of this comment in the light of the phenomenal success of the Potter books? I'd like to hear your opinion of JK Rowling's writing style UKL: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the "incredible originality" of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid's fantasy crossed with a "school novel", good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.

"I shall require your services in operating one of your printing machines. As you are no doubt stunned and awed, I will set the price for you: Free. Yes, that is right. I will allow you to perform this service for me without the indignity of coin changing hands. An altogether disagreeable institution I am sure you will agree. Thus, I relieve you of it as I bestow upon you this most noble task."

They decided who could afford the tickets and who was stuck on the ground. Not directly, of course, but it was in the way the Watch patrolled the markets, the price of an airship ticket, the guilds for writers or carpenters or any other profession. They did not have to say aloud who could access these things and who could not. They had only to allow the system to continue, and it would do their work for them.
"I may be a villain, but at least l am not a bastard."
How two outsiders could bumble into such an impressive resume of misdeeds has left us frankly baffled. With no planning, no guile, barely a whiff of premeditation, you two have concocted the most prolific and far-reaching crime spree Riverside has ever known, a crime spree we seem helpless to stop.
