Literay salons back in fashion

“I’m just nipping out down the literary salon,” is something said by authors like Louis de Bernières, Geoff Dyer and Jake Arnott, according to The Observer. Of course, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and the other Inklings in Oxford preferred to attend the literary pub – the Eagle and Child, which always used to serve a nice pint of bitter.
