What will people make of his references to Brad, Meg, Julia, Tom, Puffy, 'N'SYNC, Naomi, Robbie and Buffy in fifty years time? And who the hell are Sarraute, Gurumayi or Ivana Opalberg-Speedvogel when they're at home? Even so, I did enjoy it. Some readers have complained that the secondary c...more
