The book

I need to start commiting some of the ideas I have about the book to this blog so I have things written down and hence don't forget things. I think the plot should be about someone trying to go clean. This doesn't just have to mean drugs - it could be anything ascetic. What would they gain from it? I think that the main character who is going clean is a thin person but has a fat friend who will get lots of the narrative too. Maybe the fat character could be undernourished in love, affection, charisma etc whereas the this one isn't. I need to set it during the late nineties and 9/11 should be used to put some transition in the plot in place. However given the new French arthouse film Invasion of the Barbarians also using that to twist the plot, I'll have to be careful not to ape that.

the below pic has nothing to do with the book. Strange Brew - a cult film I wouldn't mind seeing
