Evidence:
I have now read 'Mr Moffat'. If the author is very young I regard it as a pretty sound book. Fundamentally true throughout, with a good plot well constructed and improving as it goes on. . . . As for the alleged originality of technique, I cannot honestly agree that there is any. James Joyce has already done the ‘running accompaniment of thought’ business far more elaborately, realistically, and brilliantly than Mr. Cobb. And Joyce is already responsible for a school.
