Guest letter

Written by somebody who thinks the last three years of this were mistaken

I have handed the whole issue to a reader who has disagreed with me consistently and carefully. It is unedited and I have not written a reply.

Who wrote it

A reader who has written to me about eleven times, always disagreeing and always with evidence. The best correspondent this letter has.

What they argue

That the whole framing of the last three years has been nostalgic and that the decline I keep describing is partly invented.

Why no reply

Because a reply in the same issue turns a guest piece into a device. If I have an answer it will be next month, having thought about it.
