Almost Forgot

While Tihana was here, I found and acquired an ARC of Lionel Asbo by Martin Amis. It is a wonderful, disturbing read. I'm not claiming that Marty is growing soft, but it is a different turn form the likes of Yellow Dog. I do fear it won't resonate with us Yanks. The aspect of relegation in the premier league is a the core of a wonderful joke in the novel, one which pass by ethereal to most here.
