Excerpt:
...The tiny Paris apartment is up three flights of steep stairs. Inside, the main room is crammed with thousands of toy robots, eyeballs, skulls, skeletons, plastic weapons, space ships and Star Wars characters. Hundreds of drawings are stuffed into piles of plastic carrier bags, and on the bed a punk Teddy bear, complete with badges, safety pins and a torn ear, lies on his own little pillow.
