Boyle elected not to give us that information.
And maybe that's part of what TC Ball is trying to do here is to show that Fitz himself didn't make that connection, but he's asking a lot of the reader, therefore, to make the connection for him.
And as you say, yeah, this widening gap between the counterculture and the characters of this book, who at the end of the day, they subscribe to the counterculture in their own way, but really they're just people in suits drinking martinis who do too much LSD.
And that's really the sop to the counterculture that they have.
I think it's an interesting book and if you're interested in the history, it's worth reading.
I don't think it was totally successful as a complete work.
You know, it was an enjoyable read and it was very well written at times in a kind of
as I say, stayed almost plain way.
It's a slow build throughout.
I would say I preferred The Road to Wellville.
From what I hear, other TC Boyle books have a kind of wider historical interest than this one.
That's right, don't be too alarmed that I'm not Cassie McCullough, but it is great to be here and it's time now to meet today's guests.
Andy Muir is also part of the TV world, but from a different part of the TV world from me at The Drum.
He's a screenwriter for programs like Underbelly and Squizzy and he's also a crime novelist too.
His latest is Hiding to Nothing.
Andy, welcome.
Oh, thank you.
Do you ever find when you're writing a novel that you think, oh, God, I'm so glad this is a book because if I wrote this in a TV script, the producers would say, that's too expensive, set it somewhere cheaper?
Now, I was interested in thinking about how the kind of real stories you look at in your book, these kind of gruesome stories that you have waded through in your research, affect the way you understand fictional crime and violence when you read, you know, crime thrillers and crime books.
I think with crime fiction often as well, you know, the sense of place where a writer has chosen to set their often series of crime books or, for instance, Newcastle in Andy's works or, say, Washington in George Palacanos' works or places like that, place is so important.
