In praise of ...John Lanchester

For those of you unfamiliar with his work, John Lanchester is a writer who has published several books, the most recent of which 'Whoops' - why everyone owes everyone and no-one can pay' focused  on the banking collapse.  He has been writing a daily blog on the election campaign over at the LRB website.  Well worth a read for a lucid, humorous analysis of the daily events (or non-events) that have made the news.
