Items related to Pinball, 1973
Three years after Hear the Wind Sing, in 1973, the narrator has moved to Tokyo to work as a translator and live with indistinguishable twin girls, but the Rat has remained behind, despite his efforts to leave both the town and his girlfriend. The narrator finds himself haunted by memories of his own doomed relationship but also, more bizarrely, by his short-lived obsession with playing pinball in J's Bar. This sends him on a quest to find the exact model of pinball machine he had enjoyed playing years earlier: the three-flipper Spaceship.

Review:
"Hold on to your breeches for some 'cautionary tales and candid advice' from everyone's favourite struggling actor extraordinaire. The man with the propensity for doing it doggy style with the wife of an actorly rival might not be best placed to spread his wisdom to young upstarts of stage and screen. But that's exactly what he does here in Toast On Toast, with memories of everything from RADA to It's a Right Royal Knockout" (The List)
