Amateur NightAmateur Night

Short Story

"The point of Amateur Night, and it is well to note it, is thatthese amateurs are not really amateurs. They are paid for doing their turn. At the best, they may be termed 'professional amateurs.' It stands to reason that the management could not get people to face a rampant audience for nothing, and on such occasions the audience certainly goes mad. It's great fun--for the audience.

'Milnes produces a very informed and erudite consideration ... a very deep and at times taxing though rewarding study ... the reader is rewarded by graceful turns of phrase that convey rich insight and understanding of the very constructs of knowledge.' European Romantic Review
