They're always there.

It's absolutely flippin' fascinating.

I I don't read reviews of books until I finish them.

And then last night couldn't help myself and read James Bradley's review and also Mel Fulton.

On her literary programme.

But James Bradley in the Saturday paper quoted an article by Merv Emray on protests and about Merv was actually writing about mum rage and how this was a term.

And there was this quote that James Bradley took from the Merv Emray article.

I quote, We get the right words strung together like marquee lights, but not the structural analysis.

That puts them in relation to each other.

Now, why that struck me is that each of these characters is involved in protest movements, but possibly the most interesting of the five characters to me is an older, he's a generation on from this do-it-yourself kind of punk collective.

Uh, and he's lost some enthusiasm, and he's pretty much uh becomes very ill as the the novel goes on.

But he has this look, I tried it, I go into Shahausen, got um squats going, organise all these shows, but there's an enwi that's set in.

He almost without using those words saying, Look, is this just sloganeering that you're doing?

And seeing it through his eyes, you go, okay, this isn't just Max Easton, who's very much part of this community.

He's always putting on shows, as some of us in the team know, and writing zines and writing books and and putting on shows and writing songs and albums, getting it together.

There's these two, three sides of a coin

that aren't coming from outside this culture, they're coming from inside this culture.

So rather than flag waving and sl sloganeering and saying these people are without fault, the whole novel really hinges on this.

Is this actually the right thing to be doing?

Which I found fascinating because it doesn't um th whether it's this generational people getting this involved in a culture and making culture.
