    Good morning Sir,

    I’m a BA Comparative Literature (majoring in Asian Literature) undergraduate from the University of the Philippines and I’m doing my undergrad thesis with Larkin’s novel as one of my primary texts. I came across your review in SCMP and I would love to add it to my related literature. Unfortunately, I’m unable to access it since a subscription is needed in SCMP and I felt that it would be quite costly to pay for a month’s subscription just to access one article. I was wondering if I could request to read your review. I believe your insights would be helpful in my research.

    Thank you in advance for your kindness!
