• The Booker thing was a catalyst for me in a bizarre way. It’s perceived as an accolade to be published as a ‘literary’ writer, but, actually, it’s pompous and it’s fake.

I’d always read omnivorously and often thought much literary fiction is read by young men and women in their 20s, as substitutes for experience.

• People often find it easier to refute a fake extreme opponent than a more cautious real one, so they knock down the straw man instead.

If you call your opponent's errors by their Latin names, you can make it look as though he or she is suffering from a rare tropical disease.
