Five Minute Fiction

What a week it's been, with one of our 80's pop icons having turned in a controversial novel replete with amusingly-written sex, and everyone's going crazy about this. Well, you have to give these people some right to reply, don't you? I have also been reading the final novel from Sue Townsend. The book came out in 2012 but I haven't felt like reaching 'the end' with Sue up to now. Is it a fitting farewell from the writer who gave the world Adrian Mole? Meanwhile it's lawyers at dawn with Bryce D'Abo which makes for a distinctly frosty Spoken Word section this week.
