I recently enjoyed this funny and perceptive story.
Bennett's theme of this memorial service set story is repression, and he manages to both move and amuse the reader. He's also astute and entertaining on the workings of the Church of England.
I read this in book form because I prefer to read pieces longer than a newspaper article in hard copy, but I know that some will be happy to find the text here online and free of charge.
