Like a melancholy remake of The Terminator, Looper stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a hitman whose targets have been sent back to him from the future ... which is fine until he finds himself face to face with his older self (Bruce Willis).

Further to your obituary of Barney Rosset (28 February), Evergreen Review and Grove Press were oases in the deserts of Dullsville in the late 1950s, as far as international publications featuring avant-garde writing were concerned, writes Michael Horovitz. I particularly valued Rosset's championing of Samuel Beckett some time before he became a household name. And it was in an early Evergreen Review that I was delighted to discover the then still unknown student Pete Brown's first minimal poems, near-haiku with a Cockney music-hall punchline, which he had simply sent in on spec.

Perhaps, because of his work as a schools inspector, he had to adopt the name of a fictional dectective

I don't mind a good argument, but I wonder if Nick Cohen ("Whodunit? The Sixties, of course", 14 April) has actually read my piece in the Daily Express which he so airily attacks. Had he done so, he would know that I was not trying to blame the actions of Fred and Rosemary West on the ethos of the 1960s. Evil of this kind exists all the time, and though prevailing conditions may make it take a different form, a social explanation is almost certainly futile. My argument was quite different - that the atomisation of our society has made it easier for people to disappear without trace. This seems to me to be a worry common to liberal left and reactionary right, and I am disappointed that Mr Cohen prefers mockery to constructive debate. It would be good for our country if we recognised that its problems often have little to do with the current sterile confrontation between the parties.
