Undemanding rogue I found in a well read group (8)
I believe the answer is:
literati
'in a well read group' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'undemanding rogue i' is the wordplay.
'undemanding' becomes 'lite' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'rogue' becomes 'rat' (rat can mean a nasty person).
'lite'+'rat'+'i'='LITERATI'
'found' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for literati that I've seen before include "Literary intelligentsia" , "Learned, well-read people" , "Educated book readers" , "educated set" , "Well-educated readers" .)
