I've just been listening to a very interesting radio interview with Christian Bok who's written a new book entitled Eunoia in which each of the five chapters uses words with only the one vowel assigned to that chapter (only A for chapter 1, E for 2, etc.). It took him seven years to write and in this YouTube clip you can hear him reading extracts from the book. Fascinating.
Brand - What a scandal! A daft prat! Sad, mad Brand. Sack! Ross - No good! Fool. Clot. Stop Ross's work. Show Ross door. Bog off, Ross!
That will probably mean little to US readers, but there's a big fuss going on at the moment about some stupid calls made during a radio programme. See this story for the (current) situation.
