It’s a snowy Twelfth Night here in Paris ❄️
What better way to spend it than reading—or rereading—one of the greatest stories ever written: “The Dead” by James Joyce.
And if you’d like to dive deeper into the story, have a listen to our special Bloomcast episode on “The Dead": pod.fo/e/210cf6

Xavier de Maistre for thé Kärcher Generation…
I would like to let you know that I am reviewing Sarkozy's prison memoir for the Observer and reading it is making me lose my mind, he wrote a 213-page book about being in prison for twenty (20) days, the minutiae of it is exactly as agonising as you'd imagine, fucking *hell*
