Oh, that's a lot.
Yeah, my mother was 20.
My father was 50.
I mean, it was never a good look.
I'm the product of a completely inappropriate relationship, for sure.
But I guess my concern as a child was more...
My father's been dead a very long time, but it was the nature of time travel.
I was living with someone who went to see Casablanca in the cinema, who saw Ella Fitzgerald sing live.
And I was also living with someone who was only 20 years older than me, who'd come from a completely different world, different islands.
So it was like space and time travel in my house.
It was interesting.
What brought them together?
Oh, I mean, who knows?
My theory is in the 70s, you could really hate someone and be married to them for 12 years.
And now you could be madly in love and not make it that far.
It was, as they say, a different time.
We had two generations in the same house.
I mean, three, including me.
Generational discourse is nonsense, really.
That's kind of what I'm trying to write about.
