London Review Bookshop Podcast · Wayne Holloway-Smith: RABBITBOX · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

Well, I've got to test myself.

So I started to just write my own versions of that refrain.

And somewhere in the middle of thinking about Jack's challenge and writing like 20 or 30 of these my own versions, I kind of started getting this idea of like what an epic might look like to me, particularly with a level of circularity or like sitting in a similar place, you know?

So we were kind of discussing how that might kind of pan out a little bit.

So I guess the idea is that there's...

like I said, there's like a shift in lens, right?

So we're not able, we're not, I'm hoping we don't, what I really like to talk about is, you know, like when, I don't want to compare myself to like Keir Starmer or something, Ed Miliband maybe, so he goes, what's your, Adeel, really nice to meet you, Adeel, yeah.

That's a great question.

I think a more interesting question.

would be to discuss the empathy, the idea of empathy and the idea of like empathy exchange between the reader and the author.

Yeah.

What do you mean by that?

So, like, I think as, like, writers, as lots of you are, you expect, like, endless empathy from a reader, right?

Like, I sat down, took me a long time to write this thing, and...

I'm hoping that the reader will have the empathy to sort of buy my book.

Buy my book.

It's trying to shift some units tonight, guys.

Make that Ocean Vuong money.

But...

But you expect this like endless empathy from the reader, right?
