Sinister: I'd Love To Live

[P F]

Golly, sinister is quiet these days.

Inside Daisy Clover is not that bad. I like it, in
fact. My copy is pink. Her first lover is a lad called
Milton. Then she gets picked up by a studio. Books
like this seem to bespeak a history - a moment - in a
way that I find engaging. Has no-one else read it?

England is kissed by the spring sun. England? Well,
some of it. The cranes and factories along the river
seem unchanged in twenty years. Then again, vast
satellite dishes and new white apartment blocks now
glisten across the water. The Millennium Dome is still
there, in case anyone - me, for instance - was
wondering. Is it still the Millennium Dome? Or has it
only become the Millennium Dome this year? It seems
sad, about the Dome - a sadness in our social life, to
go down in history. How I wish that things had worked
out better.

I have lost my sense of what 'formalism' is. Has
anyone seen it anywhere?

It is two years since a pop group started up, on a
night as gorgeously gilded as this one.

Flann O'Brien wrote a good sketch about a pub called
Thirst. That was a long time ago. When the world used
less electricity.
