Alan Coren 1938-2007
I first ran across Alan Coren 40-some years ago when he was writing for (and later editing) Punch. (Somewhere in the archives, IIRC, I have one of his books (I think it's the Idi Amin one), received as a premium for renewing my subscription.) In those days I was making my acquaintance with the British humorous style, and it took a while to "tune in" on just where he was coming from. Fortunately for me, I persisted, as did he.
