We've also had our first poetry response to the events surrounding the cancellation of patrick's launch at the request of the extremist group Christian Voice, who claim that the book contains 'enough profanity and female genitalia to excite the literati' (the genitalia references are part of a protest poem against female genital mutilation so I'm not sure why Mr Green associates this with excitement, but I'm not going to ask). It is, however, a great quote and we're pondering whether to print stickers with the quote for the front of the book.
We've had lots more fantastic and articulate emails supporting the book today and a few more sales - thank you to everyone who has written or bought and please do buy the book - it's now on special offer and it is brilliant and wide ranging and hard hitting and we really need to show the bigots that their attempts at censorship have backfired.
