Martin Amis says that we never really mean we love a writer's work when we claim that we do, we only love half of it or thereabouts. As this is literary evaluation, he adds, it's 'mere opinion, unverifiable and also unfalsifiable'. But let's see, anyway.
Janeites will never admit that three of the six novels are comparative weaklings (I mean "Sense and Sensibility," "Mansfield Park," and "Persuasion").
Good God! Comparative as measured against what? If he just means the other three Austen novels, then that ain't good enough, Martin. It's supposed to be in defence of the proposition that we never love all of a novelist's books, not of the obvious and more feeble truth that we can have a ranking among them even if we do. So I'm sticking with: I love all of the divine Jane - call me a cultist and academic if you must.
