For over twenty years, James Campbell wrote the NB column on the back page of The Times Literary Supplement, signing it "J. C." "J. C." was irreverent, whimsical, occasionally severe. The column had a low tolerance for the literary sins of pomposity, hypocrisy, and cant, and provided an off-beat guide to our cultural times.
What The Reviewers Say
NB skewered pomposity in its many forms.
A uniquely personal miscellany of wit, weirdness and waspish provocation.
Witty and companionable and framed in immaculate prose.
