I can give you anything but love - Gary Indiana. An interesting memoir, quite bitchy in places, but well written.

I enjoyed Emperor of Gladness a lot, but I’m thankful not to live in small town America. This time last year I was reading Demon Copperhead.

The Disorientated – Aman Maalouf
I was a little disappointed, it seemed a quite cumbersome vehicle to explore similar issues as Adrift, too many verbatim emails and clunky dialogue. Worth reading, though.

A night of Tango at the Cidade das Artes in Barra da Tijuca. A great performance. The building isn’t great, although I suspect a huge amount of money was stolen when it opened 9 years late and 6x over budget.
