Ronni Ancona:
Is this book about the word 'obscurity' before it got famous? How it was beaten by its adjective father and left on the doorstep, abandoned by his mother and it was the only noun growing up in a house of verbs and the verbs were always going out doing lovely things, 'cos they're 'doing' words and poor old Obscurity is stuck inside suffering from asthma and after school, it was surrounded by quotation marks and got beaten up terribly and then one day it entered into a reality TV show and it became very famous and it as much in demand and used to describe all the people that leave Big Brother House.
Stephen Fry:
God, I wish that were true, Ronni, I really do.
