And Greece, the light and the flora and fauna is also very close to me.
But with an adventure story such as this, I thought, I can't set it now, even though
Greece has changed obviously a lot, but internet and mobile phones would make a story such as this just nonsensical.
It wouldn't work because he'd get himself in trouble and, okay, I'll get my phone out and ring somebody.
I'll click somebody.
I'll tweet, WhatsApp somebody.
And the spirit of adventure...
isn't the same.
And I really wanted to embrace that idea that I still remember of when you could walk outside your door and you were effectively anonymous, which is, I think, one of the big themes.
In fact, it was called anonymous before the lizard.
In fact, it was called anonymous, then hunter-gatherer, and then the reflex, for which I blame Duran Duran.
I don't quite know why.
There was a reason for it.
So that's why it was set in 88.
And Grease, because I knew it like the back of my hand, and I also felt it made for a wonderful cauldron, a backdrop.
And like a lizard, he's trapped on this rock, and he becomes like the lizard, which is what he wanted to be, this man seeking to free his lizard brain rather than be trapped by academia, which is where he feels he is at St.
Andrews University.
So it's a flight into his inner hunter-gatherer, and Grease just seemed the perfect place for that.
Well, I mean, I think that was just coincidental, but it's drawn from, Ricky is made up from two or three different people.
And also the book is drawing on a few things that happened and things that didn't, but inspired by people I met.
