How did you come up with this, the idea of this book?

It would just be a copy.

Notre Dame.

I mean, it's very, very ambitious, I feel.

Do you think?

Do you think it's your most ambitious book?

So now, looking back, now at the great height you're at, do you look back and think, Christ, that was really brave of me?

Well, and then...

reviews come in and you're thinking, I mean, I found this reading the reviews about your book.

I thought, God, that's funny.

That's not how I read it at all.

Well, it's so interesting.

Yeah, most definitely.

I really wanted to sort of... Oh, hang on, we have to have a reading.

I always forget that.

Yeah, I think you should definitely read from it because you write so beautifully.

That was what annoyed me about the TLS review.

How could you write about James Meek's work and not talk about the quality of your writing?

I've read it twice.

Even better the second time, it really is.
