Subject: Fiction

The Clothes They Stood Up In is Alan Bennett’s first story. Like Charles Dickens’ novels which were first published in magazines, it originally appeared in the London Review of Books - which the author says ’seems to me (and not just because I occasionally contribute to it) the liveliest, most serious and also the most radical literary periodical we have’.
