Just in time for the election, my column over on KSP Writers’ Centre website:
Those who find themselves sick of politics during this election campaign would have been wise to not admit it if they were visiting Katharine Susannah Prichard. Katharine’s old journalist friend, Freda Sternberg, was visiting in 1944 and said, “I’m not interested in politics.” Katharine snapped back, “No sane person is entitled to say that.” (KSP to Ric Throssell, 18 Sept. 1944)

I’m with KSP, I have no patience with people who aren’t sufficiently interested in the society they live in, to vote.
