Whoa.

London Review of Books @lrb.co.uk · Aug 15

We go on.
We do not turn back.
The world becomes so small we can fit it into a handshake,
into a glance cast across the room,
a finger raised to the lips.
Everyone’s fingers are crossed behind their backs.

The great Alfred Brendel once gave a piano lesson devoted to Schubert’s G-major sonata D894; the entire lesson was spent on the opening tonic chord. Or so I was told. RIP maestro. Your Schubert and Haydn will never die.

Happy pub day to Alice Chadwick's novel DARK LIKE UNDER! 🎉🎉

This luminous debut captures the promise and risk of late adolescence in a profound exploration of resilience and connection, frustration and grief, renewal and the legacies we leave.
