Title: Gratuitous Racism
Product review: Dickinson engages in gratuitous racism to make the employees of the British Royal Family sound as though they were still in the 1920s or 1930s. Since the book was written in 1976 and takes place in that time period, there is no cause to use the N-word. I dislike the casual racism of British authors, but it is particularly bad when someone like Dickinson does it to show off. I am assuming that the fact that he grew up in Zimbabwe has nothing to do with this. I am disappointed in Felony and Mayhem, whose republishing I like, put up with this. They should know better.
