Evidence:
I have now read 'Mr Moffat'. If the author is very young I regard it as a pretty sound book. Fundamentally true throughout, with a good plot well constructed and improving as it goes on. . . . As for the alleged originality of technique, I cannot honestly agree that there is any. James Joyce has already done the �running accompaniment of thought� business far more elaborately, realistically, and brilliantly than Mr. Cobb. And Joyce is already responsible for a school.
