Goodreads asked David Lindsay:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

David Lindsay I was incredibly bored in a business meeting one day, and decided to write about what thoughts were in my mind. It's not pretty, and even I'm disturbed when I read it back. However, it became one of the chapters for FAT Girlfriend, and I built the rest of the book around it.

I was sacked from that job soon afterwards.
