Bret Easton Ellis - American Psycho		Why does Ellis have the Crystals singing Be My Baby, the Ronettes singing Then He Kissed Me and the Lovin' Spoonful singing Cherish? Are these Bateman's errors on account of him being an unreliable narrator or not being a sixties person?

Owen Jones - The Establishment		It would have been more honest if,in the subtitle,'we' had been substituted for 'they'.

Elleston Trevor - The Pillars Of Midnight		Probably the only novel ever to have been dedicated to Reg Varney.

Ian Fleming - Live And Let Die		The most notoriously racist of the Bond novels although,to be fair,Fleming gives his black characters plenty of agency.There's a lot of sexism as well but the most interesting feature is the ageism expressed through Bond's and Leiter's visit to St.Petersburg Fla.
e.g.'It's a terrifying sight,all these old people with their spectacles and hearing-aids and clicking false teeth.'
'There's practically no crime,except cheating at bridge and Canasta.' plus the reference to Sidewalk Davenports.
This uncharitableness about old people in Florida resurfaced in the seventies with the Jimmy Buffett song Migration.As Buffett is now seventy-two and the Icy Blast should have started to blow it might be a case of Not So Bloody Clever Now,Are We?

A. E. Van Vogt - The War Against The Rull		Seems like a nice boy.Mark Rogers's cover design is beyond parody.
