This post by “dbv” is a wonderfully perceptive and informative review of Nothing, a wonderfully perceptive novel. But a bit of garble got in which needs editing. The author “dbv” writes: “The perceptive reader, however, will have noted that if John is Philip’s father, it’s still entirely possible that John might not be the half-sister of Mary if she is as illegitimate as he is.” Obviously that sentence should read: “The perceptive reader, however, will have noted that if John is Philip’s father, it’s still entirely possible that Philip might not be the half-brother of Mary if she is as illegitimate as he is.”
