His sentences are chubby with the lard of his self regard.
From a review by Craig Brown of “Distilling the Frenzy” by (Lord) Peter Hennessy in which he castigates Hennessy, one of Britain’s best-selling historians, on the number of times he reminds his readers that he is now a member of the House of Lords and accuses him of padding out his book with sloppy writing.
I gasped when I read the sentence. What a put-down. Is it possible that there is bad blood between Brown and Hennessy?
