WHile I agree this really isn't a stub, there's quite a lot that could be added:
- ISBN
- I think I saw the author interviewed on TV, and he said a bunch of stuff about the writing of the novel. Damned if I can remember any of it ;)
- wasn't there controversy (in the US, at least) about the "tastefullness" of the subject? It's probably banned somewhere...
I suppose I should read it, too -- Finlay McWalter 12:24, 31 Dec 2003 (UTC) Two weeks after he won the Booker prize in 2003, DBC Pierre is interviewed by Dave Weich at http://www.powells.com/authors/pierre.html Talks like a character out of the Simpsons or South Park?! Not at all. And Jesus as VGL's "gay friend"? I think this is dubious. Maybe his "sexually abused friend". Oh dear.
[edit] Debate
Should the issue of the debate as to whether Vernon lives or dies at the end by discussed in more detail? I am not well enough informed on both sides of the argument to contribute to the article, but is there someone who perhaps would be able to do so? 83.70.65.178 19:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Cian83.70.65.178 19:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Vernon does live at the end, he starts a new life with Ella Bouchard. I don't know why it says there is a debate over this when he clearly lives at the end of the novel. ZDay 18:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. That Vernon lives is clear and un-ambiguous. I'm surpised there is a debate. Dgen 04:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
