This author’s 1975 letter shutting down a fan is so hilariously blunt
BY SAM HAYSOM From Mashable
In the age of Twitter, authors like J.K. Rowling shut people down pretty much every day.
It’s not a new thing, though.
Back in 1975, British novelist Kingsley Amis was shutting people down with the best of them. The only difference was the medium.
On Monday, the Twitter account @LettersOfNote shared a response Amis sent to a fan who had requested a signed photo.
He really didn’t mince his words.
