From Sunday Miscellany Live in Belfast -- listen to Glenn Patterson...

"The pointing finger singles you out, yes, you. I watched David Bowie on Top of the Pops as Ziggy Stardust do Starman, watched as he sang that he had to phone someone, so he picked on... index finger circling, circling, finally pointing… at me.

Glenn Patterson's most recent book is Two Summers, published by New Island.

Listen back to the full programme from Belfast Book Festival here. And there's more from that event on the programme of Sunday 30 June.
