Yeah.

So that's the first one.

The second one is one that is, I think it came out in the 60s, and it is called Fall Girl by Jill Neville.

And Jill Neville was a playwright and an author, but some people might know her as being Richard Neville's sister of Oz magazine.

And this book is about a young woman who moves to London and then falls into two affairs which are like...

clearly based on two actual poets that you can Google it.

And then she kind of, you know, falls into disarray.

It's about single motherhood.

It's about growing up.

But it's really funny and sassy and smart and it feels really modern.

And Virago Modern Classics in the UK have just bought it to be published again next year.

So I think that's a really good one.

It makes the point that something that's funny and true will stay funny and true forever.

That sounds so great.

I was, I've got a copy of that book and it was giving, you read Sarah, any of Sarah Ahmed's work?

And it sounds like a kind of new version of the feminist Killjoy, which is, you know, my favorite character in life.

So that sounds really good.
