I think Factotum is the best, but if you didn't want to read all of Post Office then I guess he's not for you.

The former is healthy and constructive; the latter is not. A huge part of the reason that domestic abuse is such a massive issue in our culture is because men like David dismiss it as being no big deal. This is a forum for debate, sure, but it's not a place to spew hateful bile. There’s a difference between merely stating a controversial opinion and justifying abuse.

Didn't finish either, but read good chunks of each. And I've read a lot of his poetry. I didn't dismiss David for disagreeing with me. You're disagreeing with me, and I'm happy about it -- I like argument. I don't want to hear from David because of the way he goes about it, the way he keeps bringing up our "black issue," and his "whoopdie-do" comment, which really pissed me off. I'm sick of him.
