										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" />Back in July 2007, the author Will Self appeared on BBC Radio 4&#8217;s Today programme grumbling about what he termed the &#8220;cardboard&#8221; writing of J.K.Rowling and how adults shouldn&#8217;t read it.</p>
<p>As a result I was bizarrely motivated to write a parody of Rowling in the style of Self (notorious for his pleonastic writing style), and then record it in my own imitation of his drawl. I sent it in to the show. (Ironically I actually prefer his writing to hers, but there we are.)</p>
<p><a href="https://andrewchapman.info/bbcpotter.mp3">Here is Today&#8217;s introduction and excerpt</a> of my brief tale, &#8216;Harry Potter and the Viscera of Kittens&#8217;, and here is the <a href="https://andrewchapman.info/selfpotter.mp3">full version</a> I recorded. Just in case you like this sort of nonsense. (Both MP3 files.)</p>
