‘For all your so-called knowledge of the world, how come you don’t know that?’ I didn’t know what ma meant be my knowledge of the world. My knowledge of the world consisted of fucking-hell, fucking hell, fucking hell, which didn’t lend itself to detail, the detail really being those words themselves.’

‘You cannot go out with someone just because you feel sorry for them because they’ve had a long run of death in their family; and particularly you cannot do it if, from the outset, from the first moment ever of setting eyes on them, even before any interaction were to take place with them, some thing about them made you feel sick.’

‘It became clear as I gazed that there was no blue out there at all. For the first time I saw colours...blending and mixing, sliding and extendi NC, new colours arriving, all colours combining, colours going on forever, except one which was missing, which was blue.’

Original and enjoyable so far.
