a blog post that fell apart so much i paused the blog for six weeks
hide the dfw; notes on craft & posthumous novels
two and a half months ago i read an incredible novel
great poetry, i whinge about lockdown innit
a lovely lockdown trip down the middle of the road

a surprisingly great short novel that might be hateful
the strangeness of lockdown becomes the new normal
cracking under lockdown and stunning books
sense begins to disperse as unemployment looms
a collection of essays
phenomenal essay on Mexican corruption
