Have I Broken Your Heart?

Monday 9th March
Have I Broken Your Heart? by Gordon Burn, article published in Review, Saturday Guardian, 07.03.09.

'Fifty years ago Philip Roth claimed that 'the actuality is continually outdoing our talents, and the culture tosses up figures daily that are the envy of any novelist'. In today's media-saturated world this is more true than ever, as epitomised by the tragic story of Jade Goody.'
