Read most of your early books and just found you have a channel and podcast. Awesome stuff. Might be looking into getting 'White' soon.
Keep it up.

In my humble opinion i find that we have become desensitized to what may be considered taboo. I am admittedly a fan of ferocious, ghastly and ugly art. There are a plethora of films and novels out there that are certainly incendiary and confrontational. Many of which may not be mainstream yet are produced well. Fact remains due to the highly sensitized manner of the current malaise i can only imagine that Hollywood cannot, in all probability, cater to people like myself thay crave corrosive cinema. Yet methinks apart from the odd example of which there are a handful mainstream art will, for the most part, pander to the majority and their watered down visual narratives are emblematic of this

Also, get Eli to do a remake Less than Zero. Book was great and the movie adaptation shit on it.

And Brett gives up his point right away. Because it's garbage. Odd that he turned into a curmudgeon.
