Devilish good writer (7)
I believe the answer is:
dickens
This clue could be a double definition.
'devilish good' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'writer' is the second definition.
(Charles Dickens)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dickens that I've seen before include "Oliver Twist author" , "man of note" , "See 1" , "'Hard Times' 17" , "Charles . . . . . . . whose pen name was Boz" .)
