Nearly finished. Trying not to finish it because this is certainly the best book I’ve read this year. After this everything will seem inferior. Brilliant book by a brilliant writer. Now I’ve got to read more of Dillon - my new literary hero.

“These days almost everything he reads is in translation and this has given him a strange mistrust of anything not translated as if fully inhabiting the language one reads or writes in is a kind of captivity”

Of course anyone that mentions Cohen Dylan Ginsberg Baudelaire and Mark E Smith in the same footnote is obviously worth reading.
