Press in outlet upsets writer responsible for a sportsman's sketches (8)
I believe the answer is:
turgenev
'writer responsible for a sportsman's sketches' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'press in outlet upsets' is the wordplay.
'press' becomes 'urge' ('urge' can be a synonym of 'press'**).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'outlet' becomes 'vent' (I've seen this before).
'upsets' says the letters should be written backwards.
'vent' in reverse letter order is 'tnev'.
'urge' going inside 'tnev' is 'TURGENEV'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for turgenev that I've seen before include "River at Stratford" , "Ivan -, Russian novelist (Fathers and Sons)" , "Ivan -, Russian author (A Month in the Country)" , "Russian author (Fathers and Sons, Virgin Soil)" , "Dramatist" .)
