Frankie Boyle Instagram – So wild to be a paperback crime writer. It’s odd to me when people respond to the book as a crime novel, rather than a comic novel. It’s nice in a way, but the thing being composed almost entirely of jokes seems to completely pass some people by. Or maybe they recognise it and shrug it off. And fair play to them, take whatever you want from life, it’s all over too soon. And also kind of drags.
