Author Tim MacGabhann stresses this via the Zoom Machine from the home in Paris he shares with his partner and her two children. 'People are going to think this is an elaborate metafictional project where it's actually written by Connell from Normal People,' hoots MacGabhann of the uncanny likeness. 'It really looks like Paul Mescal. And if you've seen Gladiator II, you'll know he's tiny – the armour looks huge on him. The cover of the book could be the view from inside Lucius's armour. But sadly the budget wouldn't stretch to the real Paul Mescal.'
