  • Just Lovely

    Arthur Dent should have been worried about the London Review and its bookshop rather than the Guardian but the Review had not started when the Hitchhiker first appeared on the planet. It is a towel.

  • Nourishing the whole writing community

    As a writer based in Edinburgh I so rarely have an opportunity to attend events at the LRB, and it’s such a joy that you make them accessible on audio playback. It makes me feel like part of a wider writing community even when I can’t be there. And the conversations between writers on this podcast are so enriching and motivating, that regular listening has become part of my writing practice - thank you for all you do!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sophie Lewis & Lola Olufemi: Enemy Feminisms
Q: What is the relationship between the individualism of their politics and their kind of interpersonal conduct?
There is a crucial understanding of aristofeminist superiority and its relation to the autonomy of other women.
Sophie Lewis & Lola Olufemi: Enemy Feminisms
Q: Do you think they're not fools after spending like five years working on them?
It's not about whether you think they're stupid or not; it's about holding the lines against fascism.
Sophie Lewis & Lola Olufemi: Enemy Feminisms
Q: Could you talk a bit about grievance and victimhood?
There is a core psychical scaffolding element in fascism that mobilizes a sense of racial national victimhood.
T.J. Clark & Caroline Arscott: Those Passions - On Art & Politics
Q: Could you talk a bit more about deep looking?
Deep looking is a natural consequence of taking paintings seriously, as they slow you down and require more time than the average viewer spends in front of them.
Ariana Reines & Alice Blackhurst: Wave of Blood
Q: Would you speak a bit about sincerity?
Sincerity is a fascinating problem... It can easily lead to sentimentality.
