No. I have to stop denigrating that novel I keep on being, like: Urgh because it's really rude to people who actually like it. Young women, especially, write to me about it in very moving ways.
Gordon Burn's book on the Sutcliffe murders [Somebody's Husband, Somebody's Son] says a tabloid journalist approached Peter Sutcliffe's family and offered to put them up in a hotel and give them booze and money [for their stories]. I started to imagine another crime that could bring about that situation.
