On listening to the BBC adaptation
of Arnold Bennett's story cycle
of five novels set in The Potteries,
I found that every factory owner
was an impatient, imposing, male
who only recognised others
through imposing on them.
I cannot stop myself thinking
that Bennett's quintet are his guide
to men whom wealth has aged
prematurely; grumpy middle aged men.
Here is one place to share
in my listening experience.
