Literary Loitering - Irreverent Mockery With Cultural Anarchists
A Disappointing Lack Of Antlers - Literary Loitering 108
08 Sep 2019
After roaming the cultural wastelands for a while, we’re back with another sack full of scavenged items to poke fun at, and this week it’s a very mixed bag indeed. So what’s on the cards? Well, there’s the rise of lesbian time-travelling books, Swiss critic Martin Ebel’s corvine-based fantasies, Desert Island Discs, Northern working class licenses, Paul Harrison’s controversial true crime claims, Loch Ness monster conventions, a painting of Donald Trump (complete with bald eagle, a flag that’s fraying at the edges, Planet Earth the same size as his head, and the Statue of Liberty), Barack Obama’s summer reading list, and a quiz about rejection letters received by famous authors.
