    Cronenberg does Martin Amis

    Haven’t watched him speak much before but I’m really enjoying him in interviews, there’s venom there. This on Scottish independence is so bad though, his argument essentially .. it would be really sad, and there’s no precedent. So daft

    Cronenberg does Martin Amis

    Money is very funny. It’s like corpsey said before you’re just reading for great description, what happens doesn’t matter much . I do have to push myself through it and at times the prose does feel try hard and fussy but he does keep paying off. I do love sour posh English cunts at times
