Oh, it's not as obviously well-constructed as any good work of fiction would be. XD But the artlessness is what I liked about it... it's a model I would return to if I were going to write a story from the 1st person POV of a character unconcerned about "telling a story" - s/he's just talking for the sake of talking - but I-as-writer am of course trying to tell a story and do it clearly. I don't know if that makes sense? XD; I just think that to have your narrator worry aloud about "getting it right", the clumsiness of hir expression, the fallibility of hir memory (as 95% do) is a Dischism at best, an unchallenged convention at worst. Of course, I have no idea if Alex James did this on purpose, and it doesn't matter much if he did. XD

Brushing up on one's Britpop history is a good tonic for those moments when one might be tempted to dismiss Yazawa's plots as improbable. =_= Rival bands whose members date each other?? Who does that? Ahaha.
