Although Pano and Kane engage in a fair bit of (graphically described) energetic sex, being lovestruck is hampered by Kane's insistence that Pano refer to him as the landowner, not a flatmate. The lobbying involves various dubious strategies, including Pano pretending to be Muslim so that the local newspaper can feature his objections. The bio involves hanging out with a flashy character called Basil and confronting the dilemmas of any ghost writer who discovers that his subject is Not a Nice Person at all.
What was most fascinating for me was the issue of branding and behavioural codes. Pano is incredibly attentive to brands, clothing styles and decor codes. He has worked hard on his own subservience to brands as an entrée to the kind of social status he aspires to, and he is amazingly observant about the ways women in his community style their bodies and clothes for different occasions.
For the first meeting of the committee to oppose the mosque, Pano prepares the nibbles.
Lorna was the first to arrive.
Another guest, Wally, is also faking ethnicity for acceptance, but he errs by asking what country the (rainbow) flag in the hallway belonged to. Pano tells him
The Pillars is full of moments like this which will have your lips twitching in amusement...
Lorna, suffering the fog of new motherhood is their PR agent, with previous experience of a rugby team called the Deities...
Lorna trains these men for camera interviews by telling them to pretend that they were apologising to their mums.
