Description
In 1994 the Sunday Times attacked the Times Literary Supplement for publishing a letter from Blubberhouse and sent a Reporter to the correspondent’s address to look over. He claimed that Blubberhouse was “too good to be true”, calling it a hoax. In March 1999, at the funeral of Oxford bookseller Rupert Cook, it was revealed that he was partly responsible for the Blubberhouse letters. (It was later revealed that Roger Dobson was his co-conspirator.) Russell appeared on John Peel’s Home Truths program on Radio 4 in 2001 to tell the whole story.
