Episode 7: The King's Men by Christian Fall (Mark Gatiss)

Somebody Wrote This

Yes, it's that Mark Gatiss and no, he shouldn't have: Lexi and J discuss Christian Fall's The King's Men from Nottingham. Ostensibly set during the English Civil War, this work of skin-crawling pornography made us angry and despairing in turns, what with its toe-sucking and impromptu orgies, the libel and all the sweat. If you like history or sex or love or birds, I'm sorry but they don't survive this book. RIP those things. Listen as Lexi struggles to recall who's boned whom and J sets the record straight about wooden buttons and Prince Rupert. Also, there is also a mobile sex-slave unit in it. This is the kind of book that pseudonyms are for.
