A Diary on Literature and Modern Media in London
Spent the afternoon with nineteenth century African and Indian texts, then checked my phone to find the Sydney Sweeney Novig story had already reached my family group chat back home, ahead of me somehow, which tells you everything about its reach.
Explained the context as best I could, mostly laughing, with one relative sending back a voice note asking why the football advert had no football in it.
