Interesting Article

There's a fascinating article in The London Review of Books by Jonathan Raban on Neil Entwistle, the Englishman who murdered his American wife and child a year or two ago. The article is worth reading for a number of reasons.  First, it is perhaps the best description and analysis of the strange psychological dislocation felt by the English when they emigrate to the US.  I've been here seven years, and I could resonate with what Raban describes.  Second, it offers concise but illuminating insights into the English class system.  All you really need to know about an Englishman is what class he belongs to and where he went to school: I'm a lower middle class midlander who went to a state grammar school.  Explains all my insecurities and prejudices.   Third, and perhaps most pertinent, it also seeks to explain how the internet subverts reality and gives scope for immaturity, lunacy and all points in between.   Worth a careful read.  You'll find it here.
