      It would be foolish to overthink the similarities between Edward St. Aubyn and Patrick Melrose, the protagonist of his celebrated series of five wrenchingly sad, laceratingly witty novels. Certainly there are parallels — both come from aristocratic privilege, both had horrific childhoods and horrific heroin addictions, both speak in hyperfluent prose — but they go only so far.
