Easter holiday reading. Recommend “Get In” by @patrickmaguire.bsky.social and @gabrielpogrund.bsky.social - scholarly with just enough juicy (often unattributable) titbits. And also reflecting on Trump’s America through re-reading Atwood + Frantzen’s essays.

Recent reads - all recommended. A new Anne Tyler is always special, enjoyably clever new Jonathan Coe novel and thought provoking work from Ash Sarkar

Saw A Complete Unknown this afternoon - loved it. His voice is great and you forget pretty quickly it’s not Bob.

Loved the cinematography, not so much the script and and less said about some of the acting the better…

Really enjoyed Oedipus at the Wyndham. Great performances from all the cast - Mark Strong and Lesley Manville the obvious standouts
