Larry Gilbert!, 22 January 2004
10/10
Author: Paul Kynman from England

The writer Larry Gilbert has to be one of the greatest talents of several generations. Why isn't he a house hold name? Check his CV - and if you're over 35 you'll have been entertained by his narrative, his humour, his wit. He's tickled you. And at the same time made you think. That's when you should get an Oscar. When you can make someone laugh and think at the same time. That's really good writing. Really good thinking. Thanks for being a really good thinker Larry.
