		To a true satirist, that moment ought to have been a gift, a sudden swelling of pomposity just yearning to be pricked.
		It may be unfair to dump these questions on the lap of Craig Brown the day after his Start the Week chat, but he’s the only satirist with a book out - a collection of the best pieces from his 25 years in journalism.
		After breakfast, Brown retires to his impossibly untidy study and writes columns for, it seems, practically half of Fleet Street, sometimes under his own name, often under others as in his Private Eye diary (this week, he’s Nicholson Baker) or the latest dispatches from his fictional alter egos, Bel Littlejohn and Wallace Arnold.

		The third drawback was recently identified by Clive James in his essay Save Us From Celebrity...What was the best way to stem the tide of rubbish in which the average TV watcher or newspaper reader is constantly deluged, he wondered.

	Crime Time On-Line - book review - The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery by Kyril Bonfiglioli, Craig Brown
		The art of the fl comedy thriller is a particularly difficult one to bring off successfully: err too much on the side of the parodic, and the whole edifice collapses.
		But the reader has every right to expect bitter humour along with an outrageous narrative, and here Bonfiglioli (posthumously assisted by Britain's top satirist, Craig Brown) delivers satisfyingly.
		The Hon Charlie Mortdecai (hero of the wonderful Mortdecai trilogy) is back, answering a call from his old Oxford college who have asked him to track down the killer of a little-liked "she-don".

		It seems that Barrow[38] and one or two stagers have taken alarm at Lockhart's character as a satirist, and his supposed accession to some of the freaks in _Blackwood's Magazine_, and down comes young D'Israeli[39] to Scotland imploring Lockhart to make interest with my friends in London to remove objections, and so forth.
		This reserve, and a sort of Hidalgo air joined to his character as a satirist, have done the best-humoured fellow in the world some injury in the opinion of Edinburgh folks.
		In London it is of less consequence whether he please in general society or not, since if he can establish himself as a genius it will only be called "Pretty Fanny's Way." People make me the oddest requests.

		And how are we to debate this when we don't know what he said, because the article is locked away somewhere?
