  • 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!

I had to shut up and listen to her, you know.
Josh Cohen & Will Davies: All the Rage
Q: What is the connection between anger and aggression?
Anger is often understood sequentially, but Cohen suggests it might be the opposite; aggression can precede and lead to anger, and anger represents complex emotional experiences rather than simply a reaction to provocation.
