 Swans Commentary: David Lodge's "Author, Author," by Charles Marowitz - cmarow39
James seems to have assumed that playwriting was simply a matter of assimilating the formulae which had worked for previous London successes; as if playwriting was a set of rules that could be learned by rote and then applied to whatever project was at hand.
At its inception, James was the admired litterateur in the friendship with du Maurier constantly deferring to his intellectual superiority.
James seemed to be content with the intellectual stimulus provided by a gracious, mature, and undemanding female -- although there are several telltale signs that, had he positioned himself more intimately with her and she with him, a proper union of two kindred spirits might have emerged.

Aston Villa captain Gareth Southgate insists keeper David James is now a strong enough character to put his costly blunder at Chelsea firmly out of his mind ahead of this weekend's FA Cup tie at Newcastle.
James has been one of the mainstays of the Villa defence since his arrival from Liverpool 18 months ago and has reclaimed his place in the England side.
And the problem for James is that his errors seem to be larger and more costly than those of many other keepers, with Chelsea similarly gifted the winner in last season's FA Cup final.

A clanger in Sunday's defeat at Blackburn has seen the old 'Calamity' James tag resurrected and left some to fear what would happen to England's World Cup chances if Paul Robinson picked up an injury.
James has already appeared at one major championships - Euro 2004 - without being much of a success and has been named by Sven-Goran Eriksson as the most obvious back-up to Robinson in his interim England squad.
As one of the few players of true quality in the City squad, James is guaranteed his place when the new season gets under way on August 19 but elsewhere, the problems are mounting for Pearce.
