This is the first I've heard of a new Mervyn Peake book being discovered. Here's another choice bit:

Sentence of the year, which won the Bulwer-Lytton Contest for bad writing: 'For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity’s affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss – a lengthy, ravenous kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity’s mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world’s thirstiest gerbil'

I just popped in on this site, and they got around to spoofing Rand. Eh, it's only so-so as a joke. I like the Dahl one better; there’s lots there, it’s a funny site (link above).
