I am, if anything, Welsh, so I know what it is to be despised and rejected. And so, when Howard Jacobson won the Man Booker Prize with The Finkler Question, his flamboyantly Jewish novel, I wrote to him saying: "Congratulations from one persecuted minority to another. You are brilliant at literature, but we are very good at rugby." Jacobson immediately shot a reply to me saying: "We could have been good at rugby too, but wanted to leave you something."
