But why not look at the full transcript of the VAM conversation, that is now published in the Literary London Journal. See http://www.literarylondon.org/ I edited the transcript for the journal from the recording with little tidying up of grammar and footnoting for the reader and the Guardian review was a wee bit wayward to my mind. But its journalism, after all, they didn't have the tape and Self and Sinclair spoke at breakneck speed. Nothing mystical about the event, I'm afraid, the intention was to bring them together to interrogate the term and see what happened!
