And that’s a wrap for me for #CheltLitFest 2025. It’s been a super weekend of varied events! Rounded off today with The Times Live, Universities Under Fire, & Masculinity & the Manosphere. All interesting, informative & illuminating - plenty of food for thought. Thanks to everyone involved 🤩 #Books
