Fwd: Martin Amis. BOLD to BALD in one move.
Date
Body

Nabokov/Boyd-inspired passage from Martin Amis's 1995 novel THE INFORMATION:

"Daddy? Are you bold?"
"I sometimes like to think so, yes, Marco."
"Will you always be bold? <...> Have you always been bold? How did you get
bold?"
Richard closed his eyes. He dropped his pen on to the desktop and said, "You
mean bald. Go elsewhere Marco."

Best,
Sergey
