Title: Which takes more talent? Darts or novels?
Product review: A serious comment. Keith Talent (London Fields' most compelling character - now a modern icon) is an embodiment of Martin's talent - and his "darting" is an analogue to Martin A's writing. That's pretty obvious. I play darts - I once scored 180 in three darts in a pub match, the max. To play well, you need both pinpoint precision and total relaxation. You need to find a groove, not twitch, be true - or, as Keith put it, you need to throw "sincere darts". It can help to be drunk. The mind must be immersed - but thought is fatal. And that is what is so brilliant about this book (and "Money") - the instinctive quality of the writing. Any old Uni professor can THINK - and very boring it usually is. The important thing is talent. (And sex.) Read and enjoy - Ben Twiston-Davies.
