This author’s 1975 letter shutting down a fan is so hilariously blunt

BY SAM HAYSOM From Mashable

In the age of Twitter, authors like J.K. Rowling shut people down pretty much every day.

It’s not a new thing, though.

Back in 1975, British novelist Kingsley Amis was shutting people down with the best of them. The only difference was the medium.

On Monday, the Twitter account @LettersOfNote shared a response Amis sent to a fan who had requested a signed photo.

He really didn’t mince his words.
