Ha! "New face", indeed! The people at the NS these days must be too young to remember the '70s, although to me they seem merely like the day before yesterday ...

It seems M de M wanted time-travel entries rather than centenary retrospection, which vital latency I failed to perceive.

Ah, well, it's nice to be welcomed. I was going to enter this comp with Will Self on the riot at L'Apres Midi d'un Faun, which would have overlapped Sylvia Fairley, but when I did some Googling, I discovered Self had already beaten me to it. Hers was better - although my Self approved both the atonality and the riot.

Yes, the phrase "articles from current columnists on topics from 1913" does admit of more than one interpretation. I also guessed wrong and submitted an entry about 1913 by someone writing today. Let's say that's why I didn't win. Although it's just barely conceivable that Sylvia Fairley captures Will Self's voice a whole hell of a lot better than I do.
