And to be clear, he’s never a dck about it (ahem* Mike Leigh ahem @simonmayo.bsky.social) it’s just that every syllable of his answer rings with the undertone of “raise…your…game…” It’s a bracing and nourishing experience.

“They told me about the tolerance that made this country the best in the world. Look at us in this room now, the lawyer said. Would this happen anywhere else? That room, though, suffocated me.

Refugees are once again being sacrificed to base politics. We brought forward this podcast with Sulaiman Addonia so you could not only hear a corrective to the media’s dehumanising refugee narratives but also because The Seers is one of the best, most radical novels out there.

Just came across this photo online. Supposedly of James Joyce. It sure looks like him but…there’s something so modern about it, so alive, that it’s difficult to believe it’s not a still from a film. A reverse Google hasn’t yielded much. Any leads, anyone?

No writer like him, before or since. And he passed away the day before our very own George Whitman, so their waves and particles are probably partying together somewhere out there...
