Smarty II

Listened to part two of the Martin Amis interview on CBC today. It was terrific stuff.

I wish I could remember the exact quote, but I can't so I'll have to paraphrase something he said that made me laugh. He was disagreeing with the saying "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger". He said, the opposite is true, what doesn't kill you makes you weaker and eventually does kill you.

You had to be there. It was so typical of him. Dark and amusing.

Again, Amis has got the greatest radio voice (as, unlike you, I haven't had him signing books for me, and have not heard hiom in person). Another good interview too. I might even get to the new book eventually.
