After a week laid up in bed with a stomach bug, I finally made it out for a walk today, and decided to write something about slow walking.

I'm reposting a few favourite blog posts onto Substack. Here is the first, written after the death of David Lodge, and considering the world portrayed in his novels through the lens of the changing landscape of British Higher Education.

So - here is my *second* post on Tracey Thorn/Everything But the Girl Fascination. Now a re-reading of it from the perspective of the beloved and the former lover, revealing a pattern of possessiveness and control approaching the coercive.

First proper Substack post - an essay on the song 'Fascination' by @tracey_thorn /Everything But the Girl, a mixture of musical analysis and wider contextualisation through authors who have dealt with jealousy. @carolinefrmus.bsky.social

My latest for Substack, in a sense a follow-up to ‘The Art of Judgment’. May not get me on everyone’s Xmas card list, but hopefully some will find it interesting.

On Friday I posted this piece about Tracey Thorn/Everything But the Girl ‘Fascination’. I re-read and realised something was missing - later today will post a second article re-conceiving it in terms of possessiveness and coercive control.

My Substack post analysing in detail the song ‘Fascination’ by @traceythorn.bsky.social and Everything But the Girl, and considering its representation of corrosive jealousy in the context of a wide range of thinkers on the subject.
