I've been a fan of Bennett since Beyond The Fringe though I didn't meet him then (I did meet Peter Cook who became a mentor to me, giving me a membership to his Establishment Club when I was a very underage 14 year old). I got to know Alan during the first run of 40 Years On. Love his writing. Love his wit. This new delightful Novella should have been called Lust In The Time Of Covid. Like all his work - sly, delicious, magical.
