And I think this is a very welcome addition to the canon.
There's lots of popular culture references, even though it's kind of, it's like literary slash commercial fiction, but it's quite deeply sad.
There is a pathos to it that actually really affected me and I felt it really got into my head.
So I would recommend that.
Yeah.
And then the other one is an older book that I read for the first time called Brother of the More Famous Jack by Barbara Trapito, which was 1982.
And apparently it's very famous, but I'd never heard of it.
And it was so much fun.
It is about a young woman, Catherine...
It's sort of in the 1960s begins and it's in London and Oxford and she starts at university in London and becomes embroiled in the life of this bohemian academic family and then it's like a coming-of-age tale.
But it's so charming.
It just had the kind of whimsy of a certain kind of British novel, maybe like a Margaret Drabble, like The Millstone.
Oh, The Millstone.
The sentences are just like...
chef's kiss.
They're so good.

So yeah, Brother of the More Famous Jack, Barbara Trapito.
Excellent.
