Sat 04 Apr 2007A tale off the trolleyFictionOne of Litt's previous books - Finding Myself- was a pastiche of the chick-lit genre, and it is also tempting to see Hospitalas a parody of what, for want of a better term, we could call medical romance.This novel, opening as a man and a boy are rushed to an unspecified A&E, occasioned a strong sense of déjà vu for me. Two years ago I was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, London, in similar circumstances. There I spent three weeks, chock-full of morphine which made me paranoid and caused hallucinations. The strange events that took place in my psyche at that time - including uncovering a plot by Maltese fascists to seize control of the EU - made Litt's Hospital an all too credible read.
