Last book of 2025. Elaine Scarry on how writers bring things to life for readers, itself written with extraordinary verve. On every page I am exhilarated by her choice of words and her artful construction of phrases.

RIP Terence Stamp: a most illustrious career, with a crowning role as a trans woman in a low-budget comedy that had an immense positive impact in so many lives (and was seriously funny).
