A.S. Byatt: "The Thing in the Forest"
Finished 3 books over the weekend and now reading Possession by AS Byatt for the first time since about 1997. My book clubs both have a 350 page rule, but for this one, we've got 6 weeks between meetings instead of the usual 4.
Also: If Not, Winter - Anne Carson's Sappho translation.

I'm 75 pages into The Biographer's Tale by A.S. Byatt (out of like 400 or so) and I don't really have a great feel for what's going on. It's a lovely experience.

I have never been to the BL, but as a reader of Virginia Woolf and AS Byatt and Margaret Drabble, I consider this an outrage.
The BL quietly transforming itself into a WeWork seems like a bad idea, all things considered. If we had a Culture Secretary I’m sure they’d be all over it.
Leaving aside the rampaging elephant in the room of the degradation of access to the Library's collections since the cyberattack, my main question on reading this is why historians are still posting on X, a platform that incites violence against humans of many 'sorts' and monetises misogyny.

Another cool 90s costume drama that should get more attention is ANGELS AND INSECTS by a guy Philip Haas. It's adapted from an AS Byatt novel and it's like the Victorian period drama with all the subtext put on the screen.

Terminado mi 1er Ian McEwan y me ha encantado. Hay una capa muy meta en este libro en particular: dos académicos investigando una figura literaria ficticia y su obra a la manera de A.S. Byatt en Posesión (para mi superior) contextualizado en un entorno de post catástrofe climática muy pertinente.
