Editor-At-Large: Lord preserve us from Griff Rhys Jones
I write this feeling a touch knackered, a bit saggy round the edges, and definitely in need of top-to-bottom refurbishment. I could really do with a revamp before I embark on a tiring round of PR to promote my new book this week. Fat chance - in the BBC's ruthless efforts to curry favour with the Government, another series of Restoration starts this week.

I would be eligible for millions in lottery grants, I would be prime fodder for support from the Prince of Wales, I would have the cover of Country Life, and I would be described as a "treasure".

“The Jailhouse Baby Blues”, or Literal and Literary Prisons in Glyph by Percival Everett:1 Allegory, Irony, Self-Reflection, and Socio-Academic Analysis
1A prefatory word of explanation about my title: the porte-manteau or coat-tree word, “blues,” like the work that inspires it, is a cross-referential allusion to the multiple versions of jailhouse blues songs composed and sung by black inmates, and to various manifestations of “post-partem” depression, as well as to the age of the narrator-protagonist, each of these in turn bearing upon the theme of this seminar, trials and prisons in literature. With bits of song incorporated in the text, a silent echo of that phrase imposes itself in the imagination before each new peripety, as in the classic AAB blues pattern. And while Glyph is admittedly a far cry from texts like Richard Wright’s Native Son, Lloyd Brown’s Iron City or Eldridge Cleaver’s Soul on Ice, indeed, myriad other titles by African or African American writers with a more realistic setting and less fanciful exploration of the ramifications of trials and incarceration, this allegory of American society relies upon those earlier works as a palimpsest to drive home some similar messages while extending the lessons drawn to all aspects o
