Lionel Shriver, you are so famous these days! And I am rather pissed that when I went to see you a few weeks ago I only brought your new book to sign, and not your very first book which I own and, according to this profile, is worth a good sum. I find people who arrive at signings with stacks and stacks a bit obnoxious, but perhaps there is method? Our national paper shamed me with its lameness this weekend, although Rex Murphy's column was extraordinary. Celebrate Muriel Spark.
Now go outside.
