Their Lips Talk of Mischief

High up in the Conrad Flats that loom bleakly over Acton, two future stars of the literary scene - or so they assume - are hard at work, tapping out words of wit and brilliance between ill-paid jobs writing captions for the Cat Calendar 1985 and blurbs for trashy novels with titles like Brothel of the Vampire.

Sus, in Conrad Flats, care planeaza sumbru asupra Actonului, doua viitoare vedete ale scenei literare - sau cel putin asa presupun ei - lucreaza din greu, exploatand cuvinte de inteligenta si stralucire intre locurile de munca prost platite care scriu legende pentru Calendarul Cat 1985 si blurbs pentru romane gunoi cu titluri precum Bordelul vampirului.
