Gig: The Life and Times of a Rock-star Fantasist by Simon Armitage (Viking 2008)




On The Road 9

A reading in a cinema complex in Sheffield for the Off the Shelf Festival, followed by a Q & A session on contemporary poetics and related literary topics:

Me: OK, one last question.
Man: In a fist fight between you and Jarvis Cocker, who'd win?
Me: Er . . . I've never met him, but from the pictures I've seen I'd have to fancy my chances.
Man: He's outside.
