I wrote a piece about the film Cool Runnings, my short lived career as an athlete and the differences between literary and sporting failure.

'Here, then, is the inevitable clarion call to Prynne sceptics: read, read quickly, submit to the strange music, resist the cop in your head, be persuaded to rejoice, let the healing fountain start.' @wellflem on the life and work of J. H. Prynne. thelondonmagazine.org/essay-the-prac…

This one is a real journey... my favourite essay we've published in a while.

'There is no state that is not nationalist in as much as, if it is to exist, it must invent a people, the indisputable conditions of its unity and the means to defend this unity.' @MarinaGarces on Catalan flags and nation states. Read the essay here: thelondonmagazine.org/article/essay-…

'Someone who can’t read a book cannot deliberate, cannot think and cannot conceptualise, and therefore is a threat. That’s where fascism gets going.' An interview with @wself. Read it here: thelondonmagazine.org/interview-will…

'Each book I write becomes a monument to a phase of life, and, more often than not, to the crisis it coincides with.' @RobDoyle1 interviewed by @JamiePCameron Read the full conversation here: thelondonmagazine.org/interview-in-c…

@niallfallon71 @jj_bull :((( bit upset you’re 1-0 down?

@JamiePCameron @jj_bull That's what you took from that post?

Jeez Louise Spurs have been bad in this game. Playing short from the back to draw dangerous pressure but then just... stopping. Nobody making any runs or moving upfront to pass to. I'm not sure what the plan actually even is. Man Utd look better in every part of the pitch

'We’re not in the rubble, but we carry it inside us. That contradiction, being physically far but emotionally tied in, is a big part of what it means to be Palestinian in exile.' An interview with @MaiSerhan: thelondonmagazine.org/interview-mai-…

This x100000. Every single London lit Twitter freak

'There’s big trouble in the world of little magazines.' — Tristram Fane Saunders @TATFS on what makes 'little magazines' so fragile, why they matter and why they so often vanish without any fanfare. Read here: thelondonmagazine.org/article/essay-…

@YahiaLababidi Thank you!

@JamiePCameron Fascinating piece on how sport strips away narrative delusions while literature enables them. Your insight that we apply ‘poetry to chemistry equations’ when we mythologize athletic competition: the brutal clarity of sport vs. the merciful opacity of art.
