I thought it would be interesting to read what Anne Enright, recent winner of the Booker prize would have to say about the ‘Maddie’ phenomenon. As the writer of a dark, family tale, I thought she might have interesting things to say about it.
The piece isn’t entirely without interest – her musings on the language the McCann’s have used in their dealings with the press were interesting. In particular, the thuggish looking Gerry McCann’s reliance on corporate-speak. All in all, though, it feels too much like the work of a Daily Telegraph columnist. Middle class, coddled and self referential. Like something Nigella would have written before she discovered food.
