"A.N. Wilson is a shit"

"LONDON, Aug. 30 — To be duped into printing a made-up love letter in your latest biography is bad enough. But to discover that the ersatz document is actually a very rude insult aimed specifically at you: that is a rare kind of humiliation. "
 
I have a new hero.

I was explaining the difference between "a shit" and "the shit" to somebody the other day. Whoever wrote that letter is THE shit. Actually, A.N. Wilson is also THE shit for having a sense of humor about it. Obscure literary feuds are THE shit in general.

I have to say, I wondered why A. N. Wilson didn't suspect something when the last sentence starts "Tinkerty-tonk, my darling."
