                            The Anglo-Irish author, activist and “the British intelligentsia’s newest high priestess” borrowed her title from a Mozart letter, with the collection comprising short essays and reviews published between Spring 1962 and Autumn 1965 (front flap). Her characteristic wit and forthrightness are much in evidence.
Dr Fisher remains unidentified, but given Brophy's interest in Freud, perhaps he was a psychoanalyst?
