Cigarettes and the novel
This cartoon by Martin Rowson illustrates the chapter ‘Better than Sex, Some Say’, which deals with writers’ relationship with and portrayal of smoking, in ‘Curiosities of Literature: A Book-lover’s Anthology of Literary Erudition’ by John Sutherland, UCL Emeritus Lord Northcliffe Professor of Modern English Literature.
In the book, published this week by Random House, Professor Sutherland provides light-hearted, witty discussions of literary questions such as the impact of the weather on the development of English literature and how Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s poems returned from the dead.
