Why did you want to read this? I'm friends with the filmmaker Sophie Lee. She has great taste, meaning that as soon as she told me that she was working on a reimagined version of this book, I ordered a copy. And I wasn't disappointed. The originality—not to mention density—of the description is just wild. However, having now read it out loud I wish I'd chosen something different. Some sentences are a whole paragraph long. Plus, I often struggled to pronounce the foreign words.

How did you record yourself? On my laptop, midway through some very boring admin.
