Ian,

I've thoroughly enjoyed the authors and books that you've introduced me to on your channel, so I want to recommend Marabou Stork Nightmares by Irvine Welsh. The book is definitely provocative and quite creative while the author does a lot of cool stuff linguistically. I always appreciate your insights and analysis so would love to hear what you have to say about Welsh who is a personal favorite.

Fun to randomly catch one of these on a night I would usually be asleep.

Identity, the novel, is really only good if anyone is interested in the topic of identity. It’s applied through the love of a man for his wife, who undergoes a crisis when she realizes men don’t look at her on the streets anymore. I think its unusual development accounts for its obscurity.

Many thanks for your time. Big fan of the channel.

Can't believe the one night I fall asleep abnormally early I miss out on the Q&A. I'm kicking myself. Will *have* to make the next one. Regardless I look forward to the replay. Damn.

Ian,

Terrorist bait.

DeLillo would love it.
