The incorrect version of an interview with Trevor Cole appears in the October edition of the Leacock Associates’ print newsletter, The Newspacket. One passage in particular needs clarification.

As published:
…it is surprising to me how few writers in the country use humour. And readers love it when they encounter it in a book. But some publishers are afraid of it. I think I know why.

It should read:
…it’s surprising to me how few writers in the country use humour. First of all, I think realism demands it; our lives are filled with humour. And readers love it when they encounter it in a book. But some publishers are afraid of it, I think. I don’t know why.

Our sincere apologies to Trevor for any inconvenience or embarrassment the errors may have caused.
