My preparations for the art fair have involved lots of lying down and resting, much the best arrangement I have found. Usually I wear myself out before it's even begun.
So I have read William Gibson's Pattern Recognition, before it got too very overdue at the library where someone else has a hold on it, and at the risk of stating the obvious I'd just like to say that Gibson is a fucking genius. Now I've enthusiastically started in on Idoru which has been lying around here since whenever, and works many similar themes and characters. And I am very happy to have seen Lost In Translation last month which furnished me much of the appropriate visual imagery for modern Tokyo.
