I didn't find it deeply satisfying or engaging or warming, but then I've never found Delilo's work to be like that.

To me, it's always...

all about the language.

But I did find it evocative.

I'm just looking at the bit where Diane begins to speak and her speech is several pages long.

And she says, isn't that what some of us are thinking?

We were headed in this direction.

No more wonder, no more curiosity, totally impaired orientation, too much of everything from too narrow a source code.

I thought that was really beautifully put.

And I would say if this were any other writer, perhaps it might be very difficult to publish.

I wonder what Geordie thinks of that.

I do think, yeah, as I went on, as I said, I found that the best way to read it was to read it like poetry.

and to enjoy the sound of the words as well as the

immensely both sort of stratospherically huge and claustrophobically tiny world that he evokes at the same time.

Yeah, I thought that was really beautifully done.

I always find Martin Amis intensely readable, which is often used as a kind of understatement, but never should be, given that there are so many books that are hard to read.

So I find his work enormously

I have to say, further and further alienated from his view of the world.

I'm not offended by it or troubled by it.

I'm comfortable with him holding it, but I do not know any women who are like the women in Martin Amis' book.
