‘I’m gonna write a monograph on View from the Top, see? And I’m going to interweave my response to this little-seen gem with moments and memories from my life. And there ain’t nuttin’ you or any of you dirty heels at Faber can do, see? Cos I ain’t doing some picture book called Cats Who Love Without Boundaries or whatever the hell else is de rigueur with you douchebags down in Soho Town. I’m writing a book for me, you rat. You hear me? This is for me, you low-down louse. Ya hear? For me, Ma, ME!!!’
