The Guardian Review starts with the headline: "The first sexual revolution" by Faramerz Dabhoiwala and displays
a picture of a semi naked woman of the most delightful proportions from the vantage point of the art lover.
With Margaret Atwood: refers to The Handman's Tale today; Next comes Will Self: Don't lecture me on willpower;
coming below this line is Alain de Botton:: God,my father and me: Mary Beard: Would I have lunch with the Queen? You Bet! -- and John Burnside: I would like to be a hyena, for one night at least.

The British Museum has not lost its charm and Guardian advises; Book Now: at:
britishmseum.org/hajj which describes Hajj: journey to the heart of Islam: 26 January - 15 April 2012: Author and theologian Karen Armstrong and Tariq Ramadan Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies, University of Oxford, discuss what spiritual, moral, and religious lessons Hajj can teach us about Islam. A tall order!

Of love and death: discusses a new production of The Changeling and The Duchess of Malfi about to open, - we cannot get enough ot Revenge tragedies. Or is it the forbidden desire? Middleton''s characters are always in the moment; they have the seed of an idea and follow it through with 100% certainty Pic provided with Saskia Portway and Matthew Thomas in The Changeling 2004, and Lydia Wilson and Jack Gordon in Cheek by Jowl's own production of Tis Pity She's a Whore ............ strong words contained in The Guardian.

FICTION:

David Lodge: A Man of Parts: While DH Laurence preached sexual revolution, HG Wells, put it into
practice . when his first wife failed to satisfy him he married a second, and when she proved a wet blanket, he turned to other women, with her consent: -Lodge retells it in a 500 page biographical novel, .. which explores relationship between author and lover, prophet and philander, - bed and book! Lodge's novel has narative drive - writes, The Guardian ... .. "it" never tires, even in bed.. how amazing love so strong!
