When I first heard this in 1993 I knew instantly this wasn’t just a song (or an album for that matter), this was a transcendent experience. The definition of soul for me. And that subtle guitar is perfection with her stunning voice.

I can recommend watching the Granada Holmes adaptations with the text in front of you. Whole sections exactly the same. Interesting tweaks in other places which are often improvements.
Watching *and* reading ‘The Solitary Cyclist’ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It strikes me that this has something of the feel of a ghost story – perhaps partly because the Granada adaptation has something of Lawrence Gordon Clark about it.

My favourite Björk song! I still have no idea how Gondry made the video, but part of me doesn’t really want to know; it has such an odd, dreamlike quality.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
