ALAN BENNETT "I've often wanted to be bolder"




You know how I was telling you about Smut? Here's a comment taken from an interview published in the Guardian (click here to read it) where he talks about one of the stories published in the book.

Never more so than in the beautiful and filthy short story, The Greening of Mrs Donaldson, written for a recent edition of the London Review of Books. Mrs Donaldson, a widow in her late 50s, has a part-time job at a medical school acting out cases to the students to test their diagnostic skills. She takes in two students as lodgers, and when they run short of rent money they suggest a lubricious transaction that involves voyeurism, a threesome of sorts and sado-masochism.
