“Gavin James Bower was a model and now is a writer. He is tanned, thin and has short hair. We are sitting at the Free Word Centre in London. He is reading from his debut novel Dazed and Aroused and I know what people are thinking. They are thinking “This sounds a bit like Bret Easton Ellis.” I go home and I read Bower’s book. It reminds me of Less Than Zero. I feel nothing.”
