Something I particularly liked about Instant Karma was the low-key way in which David's personality and behaviour are hinted at, though not laid bare, and the clues to both given in occasional dribs and drabs.And given the tone, it's easy to forget that wearing a magnet atop one's head is not conventional behaviour and that great experience of following women through the street is not normal. Yet I don't think David is meant to be seen as altogether loopy; he's the insight to acknowledge at one point that his frequent quoting of books is a substitute for attentively reading them and at another that he should of course forsake his plan. There are as well tantalising references to narcolepsy, his father's remittances in notes and many many coins, and David's solitary Christmas that are all the better for not being explained.
