    "The Tantalus Press, it went without saying, was not a springboard to literary eminence. The Tantalus Press was a springboard to more of the same: to Another Gift from Genius. 'Private' publishing was not organized crime exactly, but it had close links with prostitution. The Tantalus Press was the brothel. Balfour was the madame. Richard helped the madame out. Their writers paid them ... And a writer ought to be able to claim that he had never paid for it - never in his life."
