How do you untangle madness from reality?”

The Starving Saints is weird, wonderfully medieval, and sapphic horror at its most unhinged, in the best possible way.

‘Woolf took that very seriously: that Plato is right. That’s what human life is like; you can’t capture it. If you try to shine bright light on it, then you’ve destroyed it.’

Jonathan Rée on 𝘛𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦, an extended extract from our Close Readings podcast.

This is literary horror in the most precise sense: not horror dressed up as literature, but literature that understands fear as an instrument of power, and shows you exactly whose hands are on it.

Douglas Stuart has mapped the topography of the human heart against the harshest of elements. John of John is a masterpiece of Hebridean heartbreak.

Cover of “Art Cure”, book by Daisy Fancourt. This is about how arts transform our health.

Today’s #artprescription is this fantastic book. As the author says - you could flip the premise to how a lack of arts/culture damage our health. The political economy of arts, culture and heritage isn’t just jobs, careers, exports & growth (obvs all important!) - also about investment for health.

Currently reading… hoping to finish these in the coming week! As long as I don’t get distracted 😜😂

What are you hoping to finish before the month ends?!
