Yes... that was me! With the modellish looking American. Lol! Funny you remember. I'd started 26A the day before the reading and didn't finish it till a few days afterwards. Sad I didn't seize the opportunity to ask her the hundreds of questions that were burning in the back of my head by the time I was done with the book. I thought you were Indian when I saw you.

Would love to find out more about Cassava Republic. I'm currently planning on ditching solicitor-hood for publishing.

H'm. I wonder who's more or a sub-species, you with your anal-retentive flatulence problem, keeping your head bowed low and scurrying around with a puckered asshole or the overgrown soccer hooligan-boys? ;-)

Hi Jeremy,

I am glad you enjoyed our great city. I shall be visiting yours in seven/eight months.

It is not just quaint but amazing that any bought into all that mystical materialist nonsense about the progress of history being reduceable to a pamphlet. (I speak as a 60's temporary Trotskyist).

I was suddenly converted to Christianity in 1973 and it now looks like a parody of theology to me and much harder to believe than the one I am working through now.

Those last three sentences are brutally perceptive as well as poetic.

More biological discomfort, please!

I absolutely detest sport-related violence, especially that of football and think all those who indulge in it are bored with their lives and/or too well fed. It's disgraceful what they get up to when they go abroad and gasp, their favorite team loses to the foreign one.

And yes Jeremy, I live now in Nigeria, in Lagos with my family... You should consider writing a novel or becoming a regular columnist in magazine and/or journals. You certainly write better than most!

Hmmm that's interesting. I think I remember you - were you not with a modellish looking man with an American accent? We were standing next to each other at one point.

Completely with you on the "sub-species" point. Couldn't describe football hooligans better if I tried.

P.S. I'm afraid I do get lost in the miasma of free newspaper trivialities on my little tube ride home - The London Paper is my friend :)

P.P.S. I snooped on bakareweate.com. I saw you in Lagos in August!! Your wife's company, Cassava Republic, took Diana Evans to the house of Gbolly and Habiba Balogun? You wouldn't remember me... I was the youngest person there... in fact, the only one who asked a question related to the book!

P.P.P.S. Thank you for changing the link
