A L Kennedy

As A.L.Kennedy now lives and works at Department 5 – a shadowy organisation about which it’s best you know nothing – she can now be contacted directly via the Department’s address. No bulky inclusions or oozing madnesses, please.

Replies may be tardy or non-existent. A.L. Kennedy–related writing and comments may be included in the website if the Department feels that you’ve got into the whole spirit of the thing. The Department also welcomes suggestions for what the A.L. should actually stand for and we already have our first crop of possible names.

Suggestions from harebrainedschemez:

• Always Loopy
  
• Awfully Lovely
  
• Alternative Lexicon
  
• Almighty Linguist
  
• Antithesis Leper
  
• Aural Lollypop
  
• Alakazam Laryngitis
  
• Almond Ladybits
  
• Anguished Lover
  
• Appendage Lure
  
• Apothocary Literacy

The Department takes a dim view of humorous and/or fabricated additions and/or alterations to the Wikipedia page relating to A.L.Kennedy and suggests that the page should not be taken as gospel by, for example, the BBC. A.L.Kennedy has not, at any time, been someone who “…lives with her cats…”

You may wish to take a moment and spot the current untrue addition/s by using this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._L._Kennedy

And whoever thought it was a jolly idea to have “A.L.Kennedy” comment on Ali Smith’s work in the review section of Amazon.co.uk – this really isn’t as clever or funny as you think. Everyone else, please be aware that the “A.L.Kennedy” of these reviews is not the Scottish author featured in this website. The author featured in this website is the one who has to meet Ali Smith socially… Enough please, if you want to diss an author, do it under your own name. The Department takes an extremely dim view.
