Patrick Leigh Fermor

Ursula Le Guin I think is a very interesting stylist.

I am allergic to people like Patrick Leigh Fermor.

Mm.

I hate overly flowery writing.

And it was quite easy to ignore him because he was not, wasn't very well known and isn't very well known and not that well read.

Whereas Patrick Leigh Fermor, who was the most famous travel writer, really, she did know quite well, and you couldn't get away from him because he was, uh, omnipresent on the landscape.

And, uh, she was very noble about him.

She did say, as a stylist, he is beyond envy, uh, unparalleled, so beyond envy, and I think she meant that actually as a stylist, and she admired, she admired that very much, and she liked him.
