In which Lit Bits (Adam ‘Lit’ Smyth and James ‘Bits’ Kidd) are just putting their feet up after another exhausting 45 minutes of sitting on a chair and talking nonsense when they are ambushed by Dinah Roe armed with a copy of W.H. Auden’s ‘Musée des Beaux Arts’. How will they fare in this on-the-spot close reading? It’s literary criticism, in the nude.

About suffering Lit Bits was often wrong. But only epistemologically.
