I'm going along reading Angelmaker, loving the writing and sort of daydreaming all the while. Then Joe goes with Polly for the first time to her place and there's the bed with the attached train and their conversation leading to my eyes opening wide and my attention snagged so thoroughly. Did you know that would happen? I'm certain it wasn't just me!

Almost everyone loves that sequence. It's blatantly rude. I hear several people are even now trying to construct beds that do that. Did I know? No. Did I suspect? Yes. Most of us are filthy and greatly enjoy discovering a new and outré form of naughtiness. It's one of the things to love about humans.

Nick Harkaway:
I'd love for you to expound on how you weave serious and often horrifying subject matter around big, pulpy genre tropes, but I am not sure how to put that into a proper question. Is there a specific process there? Do you ever find yourself steering too far in one direction, getting too silly or too morbid?
