Madam, - I don't wish this to be taken as literary arrogance, but it is singularly pleasurable to find the opinion of a writer I hold in high regard conform to my own. I refer to the esteemed Kevin Myers and his excellent critique of Dan Brown's book The Da Vinci Code (An Irishman's Diary, September 29th).
I was at a loss to understand the responses of intelligent people I know to this utter balderdash.
Thank you, Mr Myers, for letting me know I'm not alone. - Yours, etc.,
JOSEPH DUNPHY, St Margaret's Avenue, Raheny, Dublin 5.
