I went to a book reading by Will Self, mainly covering this book. Really interesting and fucking funny. I like that he was fascinated by the rapidly eroding East Yorkshire coastline, and wanted to walk about thirty miles along the cliff edge so that he would be the last ever human to walk that ground before it slipped into the sea.
At the Q&A afterwards I asked him if he was still riding fixed.
He said that he had regrettably flogged his Condor to buy his daughter a Dutch bike.
He did enthuse rather on the subject though, much to the bemusement of the rest of the audience.
