Tom Sharpe is definately one of my favourite authors - indeed pretty much my favourite books are The Throwback (1978), and Blott on the Landscape (1975).
However when I mention him to other booky folk, there is often scoffing and criticism that it is either a bit too silly or vulgar.
Being a young gentleman that's probably why I like it so much. But are they right, is his work a bit too outdated and that sort of slapstick smut is no longer a good read? (instead straightup filth like 50 shades of grey is the order of the day)
opinions? any fans?
