I always love looking at my typos - particularly the ones that I miss no matter how many times I reread what I have written.
In the review of The Bishop's Man blog, I wrote:
"The book barely scratches the surface of the problem. Could we call it a whitewash? I don't think that Linden MacIntyre did that on purpose. I think that he just doesn't get it. He creates a world where everyone is idolated. In the end, everyone is a victim so you don't have to feel really, really, really angry at the poor priests who are just trying to do their job."
As best I can figure out, this should have been "violated". I still think that there must be a use for such an interesting word: "idolated".
As I enter the last twenty years or so of my life, there are a few things that I wish to finish writing about. I will do that primarily on this blog. Hopefully, the curator of my oeuvre (my son) will continue to pay the fee for my URL after I'm gone. :-)
