Oh fucking WOOT! Steve Aylett is currently my favourite writer. My shelves are littered with his stuff and I just take down books at random, open them anywhere and laugh my butt off.

Never has a more appropriate prize been awarded to a more appropriate person.

Now to check out Mr. Story's material.

I've read several of Aylett's books--The Crime Studio and Bigot Hall are still my favorites, I think.
