I hope my son grows up to be like Manny - he's half way there with the swearing (was it something I said??). A book that gets John Travolta's strut was worth the asking price alone (albeit I didn't buy it in Australia so got it half price from UK). I very much enjoy the way you write women and anti-heroes; have you read Steve Toltz's 'A Fraction of the Whole'? Kind regards, Cat Campbell.
