The Towers: Dinner party special
Scooping a London dinner party gasp of amazement was easy with this book of details, sordid and delicate, about the comi-tragedy it seems all mankind is obliged to quote. From the erotic to the arcane, the psychological to the profane, A Worshipper's Companion is, for once, advertising industry not included, exactly what it claims to be. You may know every line off by heart, the location of every piece of furniture on every set, but I defy you to attempt the intricacies of the 13th episode.
