Already finished everything else he has written.
Cannot rate highly enough.
Also, for anyone into "hiphop culture" (whatever that is!), check out The White Boy Shuffle and Tuff, both by Paul Beattie.

Currently reading From A to B and Back again by Andy Warhol. Just got to the bit where he reads that Picasso created 4,000 masterpieces in his lifetime and thinks that he do that number in a day. He gets up to 500 but it takes him a month and he decides to stop realising that it will take 8 months to get to 4000!
