Too Many Wine Gums
Too Many Wine Gums: “The prose is supposed to be ‘liquid dub poetics’ but, shit, all that means here is no upper casing, no full stops, and lines such as: ‘watching the buzzcocks / the powder fuse / pumping sizzle through the veins electric ‘ - enough! Has any schoolboy whose eaten one too many wine gums ever written anything as bad as those last six words?” - absolutely glorious Rob Lo review of a new Jeff Noon novel. I picked it up in Waterstone’s this lunchtime myself, and shuddered. Club music is great. Clubs are great. ‘Club culture’ is, let’s be frank, an unending stream of piss, bottled up and sold like alcopops.
