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".
This blog has morphed as my understanding of the past has morphed. The blog is more and more a midrash on my writing and my life.
